A square with side length 88 is colored white except for 44 black isosceles right triangular regions with legs of length 22 in each corner of the square and a black diamond with side length 222\sqrt{2} in the center of the square, as shown in the diagram. A circular coin with diameter 11 is dropped onto the square and lands in a random location where the coin is completely contained within the square. The probability that the coin will cover part of the black region of the square can be written as 1196(a+b2+π)\frac{1}{196}\left(a+b\sqrt{2}+\pi\right) , where aa and bb are positive integers. What is a+ba+b ? figure
