It is clear that the circles described in the problem are the excircles of A B C . Let r a , r b , and r c be the radii of these excircles. Also, let r be the inradius of A B C . It can be proven that
[ A B C ] = r r a r b r c ,
where [ A B C ] denotes the area of A B C . We already know the exradii lengths. To get the inradius, we use the fact that
r a 1 + r b 1 + r c 1 = r 1 .
From this, we get
r = r a 1 + r b 1 + r c 1 1 = 3 1 + 4 1 + 5 1 1 = 6 0 4 7 1 = 4 7 6 0
and
[ A B C ] = r r a r b r c = ( 4 7 6 0 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) ( 5 ) = 4 7 6 0 = 4 7 6 0 4 7 .
Thus, p = 6 0 , q = 4 7 , and r = 4 7 , and p + q + r = 1 5 4 .
Same solution.
