2005 AIME II Problem 8
Circles C_1 and C_2 are externally tangent, and they are both internally tangent to circle C_3. The radii of C_1 and C_2 are 4 and 10, respectively, and the centers of the three circles are all collinear. A chord of C_3 is also a common external tangent of C_1 and C_2. Given that the length of the chord is \frac{m\sqrt{n}}p where m,n, and p are positive integers, m and p are relatively prime, and n is not divisible by the square of any prime, find m+n+p.
Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034
