Let A, B, C, and D be points on a circle such that AB = 11 and CD = 19. Point P is on segment AB with AP = 6, and Q is on segment CD with CQ = 7. The line through P and Q intersects the circle at X and Y. If PQ = 27, find XY

Let A, B, C, and D be points on a circle such that AB = 11 and CD = 19.
Point P is on segment AB with AP = 6, and Q is on segment CD with CQ = 7.
The line through P and Q intersects the circle at X and Y. If PQ = 27, find XY
