The unit radius sphere of surface area S S is partitioned by 2 parallel planes into 3 solid parts of equal surface area.
Let the surface area of one of these three parts be T T .
The sphere of surface area = S S - T T has diameter D D .

If D = a + b c D = a + b \sqrt{c} , where a , b , c a, b, c are integers and c c is square-free, then find a + b + c a + b + c .


The answer is 4.

T = [ 1 - { 1 / ( ( 3 / 2 ) + 2^0.5 ) } ] x S

D = 4 - 8^0.5

a = 4

b = - 2

c = 2
