Bill draws two circles which intersect at . Let be the intersection of the common tangents to the two circles and let be a point on the line segment connecting the centres of the two circles such that lines and are perpendicular.
Given that the radii of the two circles are and the distance between the centers of these two circles is , then the largest distance from to any point on either of the circles can be expressed as for relatively prime positive integers and . Compute .
