A geometry problem by Danish Ahmed

Geometry Level 3

In triangle P Q R PQR , P Q = Q R PQ = QR and R S RS is the altitude. P R PR is extended to point T T such that Q T = 10 QT = 10 .

The values of tan R Q T , tan S Q T \tan \angle RQT, \tan \angle SQT and tan P Q T \tan \angle PQT form a geometric sequence, and:

The values of cot S Q T , cot R Q T \cot \angle SQT, \cot \angle RQT and cot S Q R \cot \angle SQR form an arithmetic sequence.

If the area of the triangle P Q R PQR can be exprssed as a b \dfrac{a}{b} where g c d ( a , b ) = 1 gcd(a ,b) = 1 .

Then a + b = a + b =


The answer is 53.
