Two spheres with radii $36$ and one sphere with radius $13$ are each externally tangent to the other two spheres and to two different planes $\mathcal{P}$ and $\mathcal{Q}$. The intersection of planes $\mathcal{P}$ and $\mathcal{Q}$ is the line $\ell$. The distance from line $\ell$ to the point where the sphere with radius $13$ is tangent to plane $\mathcal{P}$ is $\tfrac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n$. [img]https://imgur.com/1mfBNNL.png[/img]

Two transformations are said to [i]commute[/i] if applying the first followed by the second gives the same result as applying the second followed by the first. Consider these four transformations of the coordinate plane: - A translation $2$ units to the right - A $90^\circ$- rotation counterclockwise about the origin. - A reflection across the $x$-axis, and - A dilation centered at the origin with scale factor $2$. Of the $6$ pairs of distinct transformations from this list, how many commute? $ \textbf{(A) }1 \qquad \textbf{(B) }2 \qquad \textbf{(C) }3 \qquad \textbf{(D) }4 \qquad \textbf{(E) }5 \qquad $
