Problem 250: (2021 AMC 10a, 17;12a, 17)
Trapezoid $ABCD$ has $\overline{AB} \parallel \overline{CD}$, $BC = CD = 43$, and $\overline{AD} \perp \overline{BD}$. Let $O$ be the intersection of the diagonals $\overline{AC}$ and $\overline{BD}$, and let $P$ be the midpoint of $\overline{BD}$. Given that $OP = 11$, the length $AD$ can be written in the form $m\sqrt{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are positive integers and $n$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. What is $m + n$? $\textbf{(A)} ~65\qquad$ $\textbf{(B)} ~132\qquad$ $\textbf{(C)} ~157\qquad$ $\textbf{(D)} ~194\qquad$ $\textbf{(E)} ~215$

Exercise 250: Solution
Trapezoid $ABCD$ has $\overline{AB} \parallel \overline{CD}$, $BC = CD = 13$, and $\overline{AD} \perp \overline{BD}$. Let $O$ be the intersection of the diagonals $\overline{AC}$ and $\overline{BD}$, and let $P$ be the midpoint of $\overline{BD}$. Given that $OP = 3$, the length $AD$ can be written in the form $m\sqrt{n}$, where $n$ is squarefree. What is $m + n$?
