A piece of a circle was cut off along a chord of length B = 2 B=2 . The greatest perpendicular distance from the chord to the circular arc is A = 1 3 A=\dfrac{1}{3} . The radius of the parent circle can be expressed as X Y \dfrac{X}{Y} , where X X and Y Y , where X X and Y Y are coprime positive integers . What is the sum of X X and Y Y ?
