Eight Circles and a Rhombus

Geometry Level 5

The figure above is rhombus P Q R S PQRS with a common side length of 10 10 . Also shown above are circles A A and A A' , each with radius 10 10 . Both circles have the side P S \overline{PS} as a chord.

Similarly (but not shown) are 6 6 more circles B B , B B' , C C , C C' , D D , and D D' , each with a radius of 10 10 , where R S \overline{RS} is a chord of B B and B B' , Q R \overline{QR} is a chord of C C and C C' , and P Q \overline{PQ} is a chord of D D and D D' .

Finally, A A , B B , C C , and D D are connected to form quadrilateral A B C D ABCD , and the centers of A A' , B B' , C C' , and D D' are connected to form quadrilateral A B C D A'B'C'D' .

If the area of P Q R S PQRS is 96 96 , the area of A B C D ABCD is X X , and the area of A B C D A'B'C'D' is Y Y , what is X + Y X+Y ?


The answer is 384.
