2018 AMC 12A Problem #22

Geometry Level 2

The solutions to the equations z 2 = 4 + 4 15 i z^2 = 4 + 4\sqrt{15}i and z 2 = 2 + 2 3 i , z^2 = 2 + 2\sqrt{3}i, where i = 1 , i = \sqrt{-1}, form the vertices of a parallelogram in the complex plane. The area of this parallelogram can be written in the form p q r s , p\sqrt{q} - r\sqrt{s}, where p , p, q , q, r , r, and s s are positive integers and neither q q nor s s is divisible by the square of any prime number. What is p + q + r + s p+q+r+s ?
