Problem

Let $ABC$ be a triangle such that $AB=4\sqrt{2}, BC=5\sqrt{2},$ and $AC=\sqrt{82}.$ Let $\omega$ be the circumcircle of $\triangle ABC$. Let $D$ be on the circle such that $\overline{BD} \perp \overline{AC}.$ Let $E$ be the point diametrically opposite of $B$. Let $F$ be the point diametrically opposite $D$. Find the area of the quadrilateral $ADEF$ in terms of a mixed number $a\frac{b}{c}$. Find $a+b+c$.

Solution 1

Note that $\triangle ABC$ is a right triangle by the Pythagorean Theorem.

Since $[ADF] = [ABC]$, we focus on computing $[ABC]$ and $[BDEF]$. Let $O$ be the midpoint of $\overline{AC}$ (the center of the circumcircle), and let $T$ be the foot of the perpendicular from $B$ to $\overline{AC}$. Then \[[BDEF] = 8 \cdot [BTO].\]

We compute: \[[ABC] = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 5\sqrt{2} \cdot 4\sqrt{2} = 20.\]

So, \[[ADEF] = [ADF] + [DEF] = [ABC] + 4 \cdot [BTO].\]

Since $\triangle ABC \sim \triangle ATB$, we have \[AT = AB \cdot \frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{32}{\sqrt{82}}.\] Then, \[TO = \frac{\sqrt{82}}{2} - \frac{32}{\sqrt{82}}, \quad \text{and} \quad BT = \frac{40}{\sqrt{82}}.\]

Thus, \[[BTO] = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \left( \frac{\sqrt{82}}{2} - \frac{32}{\sqrt{82}} \right) \cdot \frac{40}{\sqrt{82}} = \frac{90}{41}.\]

The total area is: \[[ADEF] = 20 + 4 \cdot \frac{90}{41} = 28\frac{32}{41},\] so the final answer is \[\boxed{101}.\]

Solution 2

Note that $\Delta{ABC}$ is right with the right angle at $B$. This means that $AC$ is the diameter of the circle. We can divide quadrilateral $ADEF$ into $\Delta{DEF}$ and $\Delta{FAD}$, both of which are right triangles. Mark the intersection point between BD and AC as G. We can use the fact that $\Delta{ABC}$ and $\Delta{AGB}$ are similar to find that $BG=\frac{20\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{41}}$, so $BD=\frac{40\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{41}}=FE$ by symmetry. Then, $FD=\frac{9\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{41}}=FE$ by the Pythagorean Theorem, so the area of $\Delta{DEF}$ is $\frac{360}{41}$. Since $DA=FA=4\sqrt{2}$ by symmetry, $FA=4\sqrt{2}$, so the area of $\Delta{FAD}$ is $20$. This means that the area of the entire quadrilateral equals $\frac{360}{41}+20=28\frac{32}{41}$, so the answer is $28+32+41=\boxed{101}$.
