Solution 1
Since ∠DBE=90∘, DE is the diameter of ω. Then ∠DFE=∠DGE=90∘. But DF=FE, so △DEF is a 45-45-90 triangle. Letting DG=3x, we have that EG=4x, DE=5x, and DF=EF=25x.
Note that △DGE∼△ABC by SAS similarity, so ∠BAC=∠GDE and ∠ACB=∠DEG. Since DEFG is a cyclic quadrilateral, ∠BAC=∠GDE=180∘−∠EFG=∠AFE and ∠ACB=∠DEG=∠GFD, implying that △AFE and △CDF are isosceles. As a result, AE=CD=25x, so BE=3−25x and BD=4−25x.
Finally, using the Pythagorean Theorem on △BDE,
(3−25x)2+(4−25x)2=(5x)2
Solving for x, we get that x=1452, so DE=5x=14252. Thus, the answer is 25+2+14=041.
Solution 2
First we note that △DEF is an isosceles right triangle with hypotenuse DE the same as the diameter of ω. We also note that △DGE∼△ABC since ∠EGD is a right angle and the ratios of the sides are 3:4:5.
From congruent arc intersections, we know that ∠GED≅∠GBC, and that from similar triangles ∠GED is also congruent to ∠GCB. Thus, △BGC is an isosceles triangle with BG=GC, so G is the midpoint of AC and AG=GC=5/2. Similarly, we can find from angle chasing that ∠ABF=∠EDF=4π. Therefore, BF is the angle bisector of ∠B. From the angle bisector theorem, we have ABAF=CBCF, so AF=15/7 and CF=20/7.
Lastly, we apply power of a point from points A and C with respect to ω and have AE×AB=AF×AG and CD×CB=CG×CF, so we can compute that EB=1417 and DB=1431. From the Pythagorean Theorem, we result in DE=14252, so a+b+c=25+2+14=041
Also: FG=720−25=25−715=145. We can also use Ptolemy's Theorem on quadrilateral DEFG to figure what FG is in terms of d:
Call DE=x and as a result DF=EF=2x2,EG=54x,GD=53x. Since EFGD is cyclic we just need to get DG and using LoS(for more detail see the 2nd paragraph of Solution 2) we get AG=25 and using a similar argument(use LoS again) and subtracting you get FG=145 so you can use Ptolemy to get x=14252⟹041. ~First

Solution 5
The main element of the solution is the proof that BF is bisector of ∠B.
Let O be the midpoint of DE.∠EBF=90∘⟹
O is the center of the circle BDGFE.∠EOF=90∘⟹EF⌢=90∘⟹∠EBF=45∘⟹ BF is bisector of ∠ABC⟹BF=AB+BC2AB⋅BCcos45∘=712⋅2.
∠EGD=90∘,GDEG=34⟹∠GED=∠GCD=γ⟹DG⌢=2γ.2∠ACB=BEF⌢−DG⌢⟹BEF⌢=4γ⟹∠BOF=4γ⟹∠OBF=∠OFB=90∘–2γ.
Let BO=EO=DO=r⟹BF=2rcos(90∘–2γ)=
Let (BEFGD)=ω. By Incenter-Excenter(Fact 5), F is the angle bisector of ∠B. Then by Ratio Lemma we have
CGAG=sin(CBG)sin(ABG)⋅BCAB=sin(DEG)sin(GDE)⋅43=1
Thus, G is the midpoint of AC.
We can calculate AF and CF to be 715 and 720 respectively. And then by Power of a Point, we have
Powω(A)=AE⋅AB=AF⋅AG⟹AE=1425
And then similarly, we have CD=AE=1425.
Then EB=1417 and DB=1431 and by Pythagorean we have DE=14252, so our answer is 041.

Solution 8 (funny angle chase & trig)
Since ∠EBD is right, DE is clearly the diameter. Let EF=DF=x,ED=x2,DG=53x2,EG=54x2. Then, let ∠DEG=α. Therefore, ∠EFG=∠EFD+∠DFG=90∘+α, and ∠EFA=90∘−α. However, △DGE∼△ABC so ∠AFE also equals 90∘−α. Thus, △AEF is isosceles with ∠FAE≅∠EFA⟹AE=EF=x.
Furthermore, ∠FEG=∠FDG=∠EDG−∠EDF=90∘−α−45∘=45∘−α. Also, ∠AEF=2α in triangle △AEF, thus ∠BED=135∘−2α since ∠AEB=180∘. Using cosα=54, it's relatively easy to derive that cos(135∘−2α)=50172. Since cos(135∘−2α)=DEBE, we get that BE=2517x. Finally, since AE+BE=x+2517x=3, we solve for
x=1425⟹DE=x2=14252,
so our desired answer is 041.

Solution 9 (Vectors)
∠B=90∘==>ED is the diameter of the circle ==>∠EGD=90∘
Because GEGD=BCAB=43,ΔDGE∼ΔABC
∠DFC=∠DEG=∠C==>CD=DF=EF
We flip the triangle for easier calculation and let C be the origin.
Solution 10(Very similar to Solution 1 but with an added LoS)
As noted in Solution 1, DE is in fact the diameter of the circle. The proof is trivial. Note that △ABC is a right triangle which means ∠ABC=∠EBD=90∘. Therefore △EBD is an inscribed right triangle of the circle which means its arc length is just double the inscribed angle(following the Inscribed Angle Theorem) meaning the circle is cut in half by DE⟹DE is indeed the diameter of the circle.
Similarly, as DE is the diameter, inscribed angles ∠EFD=∠EGD=90∘. As EF=DF, it follows ∠FED=∠FDE=45∘⟹△EGD is isosceles.
Let EF=DF=y:
ED=y2
Now as EGDG=43⟹DG=3x,EG=4x
Hence △EGD is a right triangle with legs of length 3x,4x and hypotenuse of length y2. Obviously, by SAS similarity, △EGD∼△ABC⟹EDDG=ACAB⟹y23x=53⟹y2=5x⟹y=25x.
Now note that quadrilateral EFGD is cyclic which yields opposite angles are supplementary. Hence
∠FED+∠FGD=180∘ and ∠FGD+∠DGC=180∘ following Angle Addition Postulate. Hence by substitution, ∠FED=∠DGC=45∘.
Let ∠ACB=θ. Hence sin(θ)=53 following the 3−4−5 right triangle ABC. Now ∠ACB=∠GCD=θ so we can apply Law of Sines on △DGC.
We already know ∠DGC=45∘. Also ∠GCD=θ and GD=3x. Let DC=a. Now we apply Law of Sines:
sin(∠DGC)DC=sin(∠GCD)GD⟹sin(45∘)a=sin(θ)3x⟹22a=533x⟹a=25x. This means DC=25x.
Now based on how we found ∠FED=∠DGC=45∘ using a combination of Supplementary Angle Theorem for cyclic quadrilaterals and Angle Addition Postulate, we can conclude based on a similar logic that ∠EDG=∠EFA. The proof is below:
∠EDG+∠EFG=180∘ and ∠EFG+∠EFA=180∘. By substitution, ∠EDG=∠EFA.
Now let ∠EDG=α. From the right triangle △EDG, sin(∠EDG)=EDEG=5x4x=54. So sin(α)=54.
Now let ∠BAC=∠EAF=β. From the right triangle △ABC, sin(∠BAC)=54⟹sin(∠EAF)=54⟹sin(β)=54.
