A silo (right circular cylinder) with diameter meters stands in a field. MacDonald is located meters west and meters south of the center of the silo. McGregor is located meters east and meters south of the center of the silo. The line of sight between MacDonald and McGregor is tangent to the silo. The value of can be written as , where , , , and are positive integers, is not divisible by the square of any prime, and is relatively prime to the greatest common divisor of and . What is ?


The equation of the circle:
The equation of line :
