1991 AIME Problem 2

Rectangle ABCD_{}^{} has sides \overline {AB} of length 4 and \overline {CB} of length 3. Divide \overline {AB} into 168 congruent segments with points A_{}^{}=P_0, P_1, \ldots, P_{168}=B, and divide \overline {CB} into 168 congruent segments with points C_{}^{}=Q_0, Q_1, \ldots, Q_{168}=B. For 1_{}^{} \le k \le 167, draw the segments \overline {P_kQ_k}. Repeat this construction on the sides \overline {AD} and \overline {CD}, and then draw the diagonal \overline {AC}. Find the sum of the lengths of the 335 parallel segments drawn.

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