  • Paper
  • Answer

Let △PQR\triangle{PQR} be a right triangle with PQ=90PQ = 90, PR=120PR = 120, and QR=150QR = 150. Let C1C_{1} be the inscribed circle. Construct ST‾\overline{ST} with SS on PR‾\overline{PR} and TT on QR‾\overline{QR}, such that ST‾\overline{ST} is perpendicular to PR‾\overline{PR} and tangent to C1C_{1}. Construct UV‾\overline{UV} with UU on PQ‾\overline{PQ} and VV on QR‾\overline{QR} such that UV‾\overline{UV} is perpendicular to PQ‾\overline{PQ} and tangent to C1C_{1}. Let C2C_{2} be the inscribed circle of △RST\triangle{RST} and C3C_{3} the inscribed circle of △QUV\triangle{QUV}. The distance between the centers of C2C_{2} and C3C_{3} can be written as 10n\sqrt {10n}. What is nn?
