Proposed solution

Given an equiangular pentagon with side lengths \(a, b, c, d, e\) and diagonal lengths \(f, g, h, i, j\), we are provided with the following conditions:

1. The sum of the squares of the side lengths equals 308:
\[
a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + d^2 + e^2 = 308
\]

2. The sum of the squares of the diagonal lengths equals 800:
\[
f^2 + g^2 + h^2 + i^2 + j^2 = 800
\]

We need to find the square of the perimeter of the pentagon, expressed as \(m \sqrt{n}\), and determine \(m + n\).

First, we note that in an equiangular pentagon, all interior angles are equal to \(108^\circ\). Using the properties of such a pentagon, we can derive relationships between the side lengths and the diagonals. However, for this problem, we will use the given conditions directly.

The perimeter \(P\) of the pentagon is:
\[
P = a + b + c + d + e
\]

We aim to find \(P^2\). To do this, we use the fact that the square of the perimeter can be expressed in terms of the given sums of squares of the side lengths and the diagonals. We start by using the identity for the square of the sum of the side lengths:
\[
P^2 = (a + b + c + d + e)^2
\]

Expanding this, we get:
\[
P^2 = a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + d^2 + e^2 + 2(ab + ac + ad + ae + bc + bd + be + cd + ce + de)
\]

We know from the problem statement:
\[
a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + d^2 + e^2 = 308
\]

Next, we need to find the sum of the products of the side lengths taken two at a time, \(2(ab + ac + ad + ae + bc + bd + be + cd + ce + de)\). We use the fact that the diagonals also relate to the side lengths. For an equiangular pentagon, the diagonals can be expressed in terms of the sides using the cosine rule and other geometric properties, but we don't need to explicitly calculate these relationships here.

Instead, we use the given sums directly. We know:
\[
f^2 + g^2 + h^2 + i^2 + j^2 = 800
\]

We also know that the sum of the squares of the side lengths and the diagonals can be related through the geometry of the pentagon. However, we can directly use the given sums to find \(P^2\) by considering the properties of the pentagon and the given conditions.

We can use the fact that the diagonals split the pentagon into smaller triangles and that the sum of the squares of the diagonals can be related to the sum of the squares of the sides. For an equiangular pentagon, the diagonals can be expressed in terms of the sides, but we don't need to calculate these explicitly.

P^2 = a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + d^2 + e^2 + 2(ab + ac + ad + ae + bc + bd + be + cd + ce + de)
