Two touching sectors are drawn centred on opposite corners of a square of sidelength 4.
If the total perimeter of the sectors can be expressed in the form where , and are integers and is a prime, find .

. We're sorry about the hassle.
Let the radii be r 1 and r 2 . Then r 1 + r 2 = 4 2 .
Then evaluating the total perimeter, we have: 2 π ( r 1 + r 2 ) + 2 ( r 1 + r 2 ) = 4 2 ( 2 π + 2 ) = 2 ( 2 π + 8 ) which gives the answer 1 2 as required.
