2010 AIME II Problem 14

Triangle ABC with right angle at C, \angle BAC < 45^\circ and AB = 4. Point P on \overline{AB} is chosen such that \angle APC = 2\angle ACP and CP = 1. The ratio \frac{AP}{BP} can be represented in the form p + q\sqrt{r}, where p, q, r are positive integers and r is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find p+q+r.

Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034
