Geometry Level 3

A B C ABC is a right triangle with m C = 9 0 m\angle C=90^{\circ} . A C = 10 units 2 AC=10\text{ units}^2 and B C = 24 units 2 BC=24\text{ units}^2 . Point P P is located inside A B C ABC such that the distance from P P to A B AB is twice the distance from P P to A C AC , and the distance from P P to A C AC is twice the distance from P P to B C BC . In units 2 \text{units}^2 , what is the distance from P P to A B AB ?
