2015 AIME I Problem 15


A block of wood has the shape of a right circular cylinder with radius 66 and height 88, and its entire surface has been painted blue. Points AA and BB are chosen on the edge on one of the circular faces of the cylinder so that arc ABAB on that face measures 120120^\circ. The block is then sliced in half along the plane that passes through point AA, point BB, and the center of the cylinder, revealing a flat, unpainted face on each half. The area of one of those unpainted faces is aπ+bca\cdot\pi + b\sqrt{c}, where aa, bb, and cc are integers and cc is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find a+b+ca+b+c.
