Bulldoze this triangle

Geometry Level 5

We define the bulldozer of triangle A B C ABC as the segment between points P P and Q Q , distinct points in the plane of A B C ABC such that P A B C = P B C A = P C A B PA \cdot BC = PB \cdot CA = PC \cdot AB and Q A B C = Q B C A = Q C A B QA \cdot BC = QB \cdot CA = QC \cdot AB . Let X Y XY be a segment of unit length in a plane P \mathcal{P} , and let S \mathcal{S} be the region of P \mathcal{P} that the bulldozer of X Y Z XYZ sweeps through as Z Z varies across the points in P \mathcal{P} satisfying X Z = 2 Y Z XZ = 2YZ . Find the greatest integer that is less than 100 100 times the area of S \mathcal{S} .


The answer is 129.
