A hexagon that is inscribed in a circle has side lengths 22, 22, 20, 22, 22, and 20 in that order. The radius of the circle can be written as p+q, where p and q are positive integers. Find p+q.

Solution
Solution 1
Let us call the hexagon ABCDEF, where AB=CD=DE=AF=22, and BC=EF=20. We can just consider one half of the hexagon, ABCD, to make matters simpler. Draw a line from the center of the circle, O, to the midpoint of BC, X. Now, draw a line from O to the midpoint of AB, Y. Clearly, ∠BXO=90∘, because BO=CO, and ∠BYO=90∘, for similar reasons. Also notice that ∠AOX=90∘. Let us call ∠BOY=θ. Therefore, ∠AOB=2θ, and so ∠BOX=90−2θ. Let us label the radius of the circle r. This means
sinθ=rBY=r11sin(90−2θ)=rBX=r10
Now we can use simple trigonometry to solve for r. Recall that sin(90−α)=cos(α): That means sin(90−2θ)=cos2θ=r10. Recall that cos2α=1−2sin2α: That means cos2θ=1−2sin2θ=r10. Let sinθ=x. Substitute to get x=r11 and 1−2x2=r10 Now substitute the first equation into the second equation: 1−2(r11)2=r10 Multiplying both sides by r2 and reordering gives us the quadratic
r2−10r−242=0
Using the quadratic equation to solve, we get that r=5+267 (because 5−267 gives a negative value), so the answer is 5+267=272.
Solution 2
Using the trapezoid ABCD mentioned above, draw an altitude of the trapezoid passing through point B onto AD at point J. Now, we can use the pythagorean theorem: (222−(r−10)2)+102=r2. Expanding and combining like terms gives us the quadratic
r2−10r−242=0
and solving for r gives r=5+267. So the solution is 5+267=272.
Solution 3
Join the diameter of the circle AD and let the length be d. By Ptolemy's Theorem on trapezoid ADEF, (AD)(EF)+(AF)(DE)=(AE)(DF). Since it is an isosceles trapezoid, both diagonals are equal. Let them be equal to x each. Then
20d+222=x2
Since ∠AED is subtended by the diameter, it is right. Hence by the Pythagorean Theorem with right △AED:
(AE)2+(ED)2=(AD)2x2+222=d2
From the above equations, we have:
x2=d2−222=20d+222d2−20d=2×222d2−20d+100=968+100=1068(d−10)=1068d=1068+10=2×(267+5)
Since the radius is half the diameter, it is 267+5, so the answer is 5+267⇒272.
Solution 4
As we can see this image, it is symmetrical hence the diameter divides the hexagon into two congruent quadrilateral. Now we can apply the Ptolemy's theorem. Denote the radius is r, we can get
22∗2x+440=4x2−4004x2−484
, after simple factorization, we can get
x4−342x2−2420x=0
, it is easy to see that x=−10,x=0 are two solutions for the equation, so we can factorize that into
x(x+10)(x2−10x−242)
so we only need to find the solution for
x2−10x−242=0
and we can get x=(267+5) is the desired answer for the problem, and our answer is 5+267⇒272.~bluesoul
Solution 6 (Trig Bash)
Let ∠AOB=θ. So, we have sin2θ=r11 and cos2θ=rr2−121. So, sinθ=2sin2θcos2θ=r222r2−121. Let H be the foot of the perpendicular from B to AD. We have BF=2BH=2rsinθ=r44r2−121. Using Pythagorean theorem on △BCF, to get (r44r2−121)2+202=(2r)2, or r2442r2−442⋅121+202=4r4. Multiplying by r2, we get 442r2−442⋅121+202r2=4r4. Rearranging and simplifying, we get a quadratic in r2:
r4−584r2+2422=0,
which gives us r2=292±10267. Because r is in the form p+q, we know to choose the larger option, meaning r2=292+10267, so pq=5267 and p2+q=292. By inspection, we get (p,q)=(5,267), so our answer is 5+267=272.

Solution 7
We know that AD=x is a diameter, hence ABD and ACD are right triangles. Let AB=BC=22, and CD=20. Hence, ABD is a right triangle with legs 22,x2−484, and hypotenuse, x, and ACD is a right triangle with legs 20,x2−400, with hypotenuse x. By Ptolemy's we have
22(x+20)=x2−400x2−484
. We square both sides to get
484(x+20)2=(x2−400)(x2−484)⟹484(x+20)=(x−20)(x2−484)⟹484x=x3−20x2−484x⟹x(x2−20x−968)=0
We solve for x via the Quadratic Formula and receive x=10+2267, but we must divide by 2 since we want the radius, and hence 267+5=272. ~SirAppel
