This one is not as hard as the hanging rope problem, I promise. All you need to know is in a right triangle a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
The question is, what is the distance from A to B?

30 sqrt(2) + 10 sqrt(3)
Note that the fact that the circle of radius 10 is tangent to the left side of the rectangle is irrelevant

Yup, I agree; congratulations! I forgot to enforce a 24-hour delay on you for this one.

You may have; I tried to solve it, but something didn't quite make sense. See that thread for my attempt.
