Locus?

Geometry Level pending

Two sticks, of lengths 10 10 and 20 20 respectively, slide along the axes of a coordinate system such that one end of each stick slides along the X X -axis while the other end of each slides along the Y Y -axis. The four end points of the sticks always lie on a circle. The locus of the centre of this circle can be expressed as ( a x b y ) 2 + ( b x a y ) 2 = c 2 (ax-by) ^2+(bx-ay)^2=c^2 , where a , b a, b and c c are coprime positive integers. Find the value of a + b + c a+b+c .
