1994 AIME Problem 2


A circle with diameter PQ\overline{PQ} of length 10 is internally tangent at PP to a circle of radius 20. Square ABCDABCD is constructed with AA and BB on the larger circle, CD\overline{CD} tangent at QQ to the smaller circle, and the smaller circle outside ABCDABCD. The length of AB\overline{AB} can be written in the form m+nm + \sqrt{n}, where mm and nn are integers. Find m+nm + n.


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.
