Squares inside a triangle

Geometry Level 5

Given triangle A B C ABC with B C = 115 , sin A = 5 7 , A B A C = 3 5 BC=115, \sin A=\frac {5}{7}, \frac {AB}{AC}=\frac {3}{5} . There is a set of points P P on segment B C BC satisfying the following:

For each P P there exists a square P Q R S PQRS such that Q , S Q,S lie on A C , A B \overline {AC},\overline {AB} respectively, and R R lies inside triangle A B C ABC .

Find the length of the segment(s) that these points P P make up on B C BC


The answer is 97.
