BY british flag theorem,
a e 2 ae^2 + c e 2 ce^2 = b e 2 be^2 + d e 2 de^2
Therefore, 53+52=85+ b e 2 be^2
be= 20 \sqrt{20}

Draw two parallel lines as above. Here we will see that r 2 + g 2 = 53 ; r 2 + y 2 = 85 ; y 2 + b 2 = 52 r^2+g^2 = 53; r^2+y^2 = 85; y^2+b^2 = 52 As we need to find g 2 + b 2 \sqrt{g^2+b^2} , we just combine all variables we know and eliminate what we don't need, which gives ( r 2 + g 2 ) + ( y 2 + b 2 ) ( r 2 + y 2 ) = 53 + 52 85 = 20 \sqrt{(r^2+g^2)+(y^2+b^2)-(r^2+y^2)} = \sqrt{53+52-85} = \sqrt{20}
