2011 AIME II Problem 13


Point PP lies on the diagonal ACAC of square ABCDABCD with AP>CPAP>CP. Let O1O_1 and O2O_2 be the circumcenters of triangles ABPABP and CDPCDP respectively. Given that AB=12AB=12 and O1PO2=120\angle O_1 P O_2 = 120^\circ, then AP=a+bAP=\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b} where aa and bb are positive integers. Find a+ba+b.


Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034. Full credit goes to MAA for authoring these problems. These problems were taken on the AOPS website.
