  • Answer

Consider a tetrahedron with two isosceles triangle faces with side lengths 510,510,5\sqrt{10}, 5\sqrt{10}, and 1010 and two isosceles triangle faces with side lengths 510,510,5\sqrt{10}, 5\sqrt{10}, and 18.18. The four vertices of the tetrahedron lie on a sphere with center S,S, and the four faces of the tetrahedron are tangent to a sphere with center R.R. The distance RSRS can be written as mn,\tfrac mn, where mm and nn are relatively prime positive integers. Find m+n.{}m + n. [asy] size(320); pair S = (0, 0); pair A = (0, 110); pair D = (-95, -55); pair C = (95, -55); pair B = (-25, 15); pair R = (0, 25); draw(circle(S, 110), gray+linewidth(0.6)); draw(circle(R, 43), gray+linewidth(0.4)); draw(A--C, black+linewidth(1.1)); draw(A--D, black+linewidth(1.1)); draw(C--D, black+linewidth(1.1)); draw(A--B, dashed+gray+linewidth(0.9)); draw(B--C, dashed+gray+linewidth(0.9)); draw(B--D, dashed+gray+linewidth(0.9)); draw(S--R, dotted+black+linewidth(1.3)); dot(A, p=black+linewidth(4.5)); dot(B, p=black+linewidth(4.5)); dot(C, p=black+linewidth(4.5)); dot(D, p=black+linewidth(4.5)); dot(S, p=red+linewidth(4.5)); dot(R, p=blue+linewidth(4.5)); label("AA", A, N3.5); label("BB", B, NW3.0); label("CC", C, SE3.5); label("DD", D, SW3.5); label("SS", S, SW2.0); label("RR", R, NE2.0); label("1010", (A+B)/2, NE2.5); label("1010", (C+D)/2, S3.0); label("1818", (A+D)/2, NW3.0); label("1818", (B+C)/2, N2.5); label("5105\sqrt{10}", (A+C)/2, NE3.0); label("5105\sqrt{10}", (B+D)/2, S3.0); [/asy]
