Problem of the Day #202


POTD June 29, 2024

Let ABCDABCD be the bottom face of a cube, and let PQRSPQRS be the top face of that same cube, such that AP,BQ,CR,AP, BQ, CR, and DSDS form vertical edges. Let θ\theta be the angle of intersection between space diagonals ARAR and BSBS. If sin(θ)+cos(θ)+tan(θ)\sin(\theta)+\cos(\theta)+\tan(\theta) can be expressed as a+bcd\frac{a+b\sqrt c}{d}, where a,b,c,dZ+a, b, c, d \in \mathbb{Z}^+, gcd(a,b,d)=1\gcd(a, b, d) = 1, and cc is not divisible by the square of any prime, find 1000a+100b+10c+d1000a+100b+10c+d.
