AIME 2013a Problem 12

  • Paper
  • Answer

Let △PQR\bigtriangleup PQR be a triangle with ∠P=75∘\angle P = 75^\circ and ∠Q=60∘\angle Q = 60^\circ. A regular hexagon ABCDEFABCDEF with side length 1 is drawn inside △PQR\triangle PQR so that side AB‾\overline{AB} lies on PQ‾\overline{PQ}, side CD‾\overline{CD} lies on QR‾\overline{QR}, and one of the remaining vertices lies on RP‾\overline{RP}. There are positive integers a,b,c,a, b, c, and dd such that the area of △PQR\triangle PQR can be expressed in the form a+bcd\frac{a+b\sqrt{c}}{d}, where aa and dd are relatively prime, and c is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find a+b+c+da+b+c+d.
