Let ABCA B C be a triangle with AB=13,BC=14A B=13, B C=14, and CA=15C A=15. Pick points QQ and RR on ACA C and ABA B such that ∠CBQ=∠BCR=90∘\angle C B Q=\angle B C R=90^{\circ}. There exist two points P1≠P2P_{1} \neq P_{2} in the plane of ABCA B C such that △P1QR,△P2QR\triangle P_{1} Q R, \triangle P_{2} Q R, and △ABC\triangle A B C are similar (with vertices in order). Compute the sum of the distances from P1P_{1} to BCB C and P2P_{2} to BCB C.
