2001 AIME II Problem 7
Let \triangle{PQR} be a right triangle with PQ = 90, PR = 120, and QR = 150. Let C_{1} be the inscribed circle. Construct \overline{ST} with S on \overline{PR} and T on \overline{QR}, such that \overline{ST} is perpendicular to \overline{PR} and tangent to C_{1}. Construct \overline{UV} with U on \overline{PQ} and V on \overline{QR} such that \overline{UV} is perpendicular to \overline{PQ} and tangent to C_{1}. Let C_{2} be the inscribed circle of \triangle{RST} and C_{3} the inscribed circle of \triangle{QUV}. The distance between the centers of C_{2} and C_{3} can be written as \sqrt {10n}. What is n?
Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034
