1990 AIME Problem 14
The rectangle ABCD^{}_{} below has dimensions AB^{}_{} = 12 \sqrt{3} and BC^{}_{} = 13 \sqrt{3}. Diagonals \overline{AC} and \overline{BD} intersect at P^{}_{}. If triangle ABP^{}_{} is cut out and removed, edges \overline{AP} and \overline{BP} are joined, and the figure is then creased along segments \overline{CP} and \overline{DP}, we obtain a triangular pyramid, all four of whose faces are isosceles triangles. Find the volume of this pyramid.
Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034
