Problem Statement

Q. A light source at the point (0,16)(0, 16) in the co-ordinate plane casts light in all directions. A disc(circle along ith it's interior) of radius 22 with center at (6,10)(6, 10) casts a shadow on the X-axis. The length of the shadow can be written in the form mnm\sqrt{n} where m,nm, n are positive integers and nn is squarefree. Find m+nm + n.
