Farhan's problem on chords

Geometry Level 3

Two chords meet inside a circle perpendicular to each other. The lengths of the segments of one chord are x x and x + 5 x+5 , and those of the other are x + 1 x+1 and 6 6 . The distance of the chords' meeting point from the centre of the circle is a b \dfrac{\sqrt{a}}{b} where a and b are primes. Find the value of a + b a+b .


The answer is 31.
