2014 AIME II Problem 12

Suppose that the angles of \triangle ABC satisfy \cos(3A)+\cos(3B)+\cos(3C)=1. Two sides of the triangle have lengths 10 and 13. There is a positive integer m so that the maximum possible length for the remaining side of \triangle ABC is \sqrt{m}. Find m.

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