Four lighthouses are located at points A, B, C, and D. The lighthouse at A is 5 kilometers from the lighthouse at B, the lighthouse at B is 12 kilometers from the lighthouse at C, and the lighthouse at A is 13 kilometers from the lighthouse at C. To an observer at A, the angle determined by the lights at B and D and the angle determined by the lights at C and D are equal. To an observer at C, the angle determined by the lights at A and B and the angle determined by the lights at D and B are equal. The number of kilometers from A to D is given by rpq, where p, q, and r are relatively prime positive integers, and r is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find p + q + r.

Solution 1
Let O be the intersection of BC and AD. By the Angle Bisector Theorem, BO5 = CO13, so BO = 5x and CO = 13x, and BO + OC = BC = 12, so x = 32, and OC = 326. Let P be the foot of the altitude from D to OC. It can be seen that triangle DOP is similar to triangle AOB, and triangle DPC is similar to triangle ABC. If DP = 15y, then CP = 36y, OP = 10y, and OD = 5y13. Since OP + CP = 46y = 326, y = 6913, and AD = 236013 (by the pythagorean theorem on triangle ABO we sum AO and OD). The answer is 60 + 13 + 23 = 096.
Solution 2
Extend AB and CD to intersect at P. Note that since ∠ACB=∠PCB and ∠ABC=∠PBC=90∘ by ASA congruency we have △ABC≅△PBC. Therefore AC=PC=13.
By the angle bisector theorem, PD=23130 and CD=23169. Now we apply Stewart's theorem to find AD:
13⋅23130⋅23169+13⋅AD213⋅23130⋅23169+13⋅AD213⋅23130⋅23169+13⋅AD2AD2AD2AD2AD2AD=13⋅13⋅23130+10⋅10⋅23169=23169⋅130+169⋅100=1690=130−232130⋅169=232130⋅232−130⋅169=232130(232−169)=232130(360)=236013
and our final answer is 60+13+23=096.
Solution 3
Notice that by extending AB and CD to meet at a point E, △ACE is isosceles. Now we can do a straightforward coordinate bash. Let C=(0,0), B=(12,0), E=(12,−5) and A=(12,5), and the equation of line CD is y=−125x. Let F be the intersection point of AD and BC, and by using the Angle Bisector Theorem: ABBF=ACFC we have FC=326. Then the equation of the line AF through the points (12,5) and (326,0) is y=23x−13. Hence the intersection point of AF and CD is the point D at the coordinates (23156,−2365). Using the distance formula, AD=(12−23156)2+(5+2365)2=236013 for an answer of 60+13+23=096.
Solution 4
After drawing a good diagram, we reflect ABC over the line BC, forming a new point that we'll call A′. Also, let the intersection of AD and BC be point E. Point D lies on line A′C. Since line AD bisects ∠CAB, we can use the Angle Bisector Theorem. AA′=10 and AC=13, so A′DCD=1013. Letting the segments be 13x and 10x respectively, we now have 13x+10x=13. Therefore, x=2313. By the Pythagorean Theorem, AE=3513. Using the Angle Bisector Theorem on ∠ACD, we have that ED=35x13. Substituting in x=2313, we have that AD=(3513)(1+x)=236013, so the answer is 60+13+23=096.

Solution 5 (Angle Bisector Theorem + Law of Cosines)
Let CD and AB meet at A′; then AD is an angle bisector of isosceles △AA′C. Then by the Angle Bisector Theorem, A′D=10+1310⋅13=23130, and cos∠DA′A=135. By the Law of Cosines on △AA′D, we have
AD2=102+(23130)2−2⋅10⋅23130⋅135=23224⋅32⋅52⋅13⟹AD=236013
and the answer is 60+13+23=096.

Solution 6 (Law of Sines)
Using the law of sines on △ADE,
AD=AE⋅sin(180∘−3α)sin(2α)=AE⋅sin(α+2α)sin(2α)=10⋅sin(α)cos(2α)+cos(α)sin(2α)sin(2α)=10⋅21−cos(2α)⋅cos(2α)+21+cos(2α)⋅sin(2α)sin(2α)=10⋅268⋅135+2618⋅13121312=10⋅10+361213=236013∴ the answer is 60+13+23=096.
