  • Paper

The parallelogram bounded by the lines y=ax+cy=ax+c, y=ax+dy=ax+d, y=bx+cy=bx+c, and y=bx+dy=bx+d has area 1818. The parallelogram bounded by the lines y=ax+cy=ax+c, y=ax−dy=ax-d, y=bx+cy=bx+c, and y=bx−dy=bx-d has area 7272. Given that aa, bb, cc, and dd are positive integers, what is the smallest possible value of a+b+c+da+b+c+d?
