Problem 226: (2021 AMC 12a, 24)
Semicircle $\Gamma$ has diameter $\overline{AB}$ of length $14$. Circle $\Omega$ lies tangent to $\overline{AB}$ at a point $P$ and intersects $\Gamma$ at points $Q$ and $R$. If $QR=3\sqrt3$ and $\angle QPR=60^\circ$, then the area of $\triangle PQR$ equals $\tfrac{a\sqrt{b}}{c}$, where $a$ and $c$ are relatively prime positive integers, and $b$ is a positive integer not divisible by the square of any prime. What is $a+b+c$? $\textbf{(A) }110 \qquad$ $ \textbf{(B) }114 \qquad$ $ \textbf{(C) }118 \qquad$ $ \textbf{(D) }122\qquad$ $ \textbf{(E) }126$
Solution
Exercise 226: Solution
Semicircle $\Gamma$ has diameter $\overline{AB}$ of length $26$. Circle $\Omega$ is tangent to $\overline{AB}$ at $P$ and meets $\Gamma$ at $Q,R$. If $QR=7\sqrt2$ and $\angle QPR=45^\circ$, the area of $\triangle PQR$ is $\frac ab$ in lowest terms. What is $a+b$?
