Problem Statement
Let
△
A
B
C
\vartriangle ABC
△
A
BC
be a triangle such that the area
[
A
B
C
]
=
10
[ABC] = 10
[
A
BC
]
=
10
and
tan
(
∠
A
B
C
)
=
5
\tan (\angle ABC) = 5
tan
(
∠
A
BC
)
=
5
. If the smallest possible value of
(
A
C
‾
)
2
(\overline{AC})^2
(
A
C
)
2
can be expressed as
−
a
+
b
c
-a + b\sqrt{c}
−
a
+
b
c
for positive integers
a
,
b
,
c
a, b, c
a
,
b
,
c
, what is
a
+
