Geometry Level 5

The diagram shows two circles with diameters 314 and 358 which share a common tangent.

Both circles are tangent to the two smaller circles in the middle with diameters 265 and 159 .

The length of the tangent in its simplest form can be expressed as 15 4 ( a b + c ) , \dfrac{\sqrt{15}}{4}(a\sqrt{b}+\sqrt{c}), where a , b a,b and c c are positive integers with b , c b,c square-free. Find a + b + c a+b+c .
