Elegant! I love this solution. Thank for sharing.
Nice Solution.
Exactly Same Way.
Same approach.
Exactly the same way.
Jon, I hate to be picayune, but the problem asks for the ceiling function of 100(r + s), which is the ceiling function of 400*sqrt(6) = 980.
Construct the right angled triangle A F ′ C ′ , such that A F ′ = D F = r and C ′ F ′ = C F = 2 , as shown.
Note that ∠ B A C ′ = 9 0 ∘ (as ∠ B A D = ∠ B C D and ∠ D A C ′ = ∠ A D C ). This means that B C ′ is a diameter. Now B C ′ 2 = A C ′ 2 + A B 2 = ( r 2 + 2 2 ) + ( 4 2 + s 2 ) , which means that r 2 + s 2 = 8 0 (as B C ′ = 2 O A = 1 0 ). On the other hand, it is clear that △ F D C is similar to △ F B A , which means that r s = 4 ( 2 ) = 8 . Thus r + s = ( r 2 + s 2 ) + 2 r s = 8 0 + 1 6 = 9 6 = 9 . 7 9 7 9 6 and hence ⌈ 1 0 0 ( r + s ) ⌉ = 9 8 0 .
Arrggh.. Got 2answer wrong then finally got right one but typed 979. You should to tell to round up to nearest integer

The notation given in the problem clearly asks for the ceiling function, not the floor function; don't feel bad, very easy to get confused. It would have been better to give the answer as 4*sqrt(6).
Novel approach. Could not think of it !! Congratulations. Up voted.

Let M and N be the projections of O onto A D and B C , respectively. Then M is the midpoint of A D and N is the midpoint of B C . Then B N = C N = 3 , so N F = 1 . Since O M F N is a rectangle, O M = 1 . Then by Pythagoras on right triangle O M A , A M = 2 6 . Also, A M is half of A D = r + s , so r + s = 4 6 .
