Maximising an Angle!

Level pending

In A B C \triangle ABC , A B C = 9 0 \angle ABC = 90^{\circ} and A B = 50 AB = 50 meters. D D is a point on A B AB such that A D = 40 AD=40 meters. What is the length of B C BC so that A C D \angle ACD is maximized. If the length of B C BC can be written as a b a\sqrt{b} , where a a and b b are positive integers and b b is not divisible by the square of any prime, find a + b a+b in meters.


The answer is 15.
