Fermat's Cousin

Geometry Level pending

The Fermat point minimizes the sum of its distance from the vertices of a triangle. The centroid minimizes the sum of the squares of its distance from the vertices. In A B C \triangle ABC , can you find the point which minimizes the sum of the c u b e cube of its distance from the vertices? That is, find the point Q Q that minimizes A Q 3 + B Q 3 + C Q 3 AQ^3 +BQ^3 + CQ^3 and submit its distance from A A . A closed-form for A Q AQ exists. Find it and submit 1 0 6 A Q \lfloor{10^6\cdot{AQ}}\rfloor .


The answer is 521275.
