Circles $C_1$ and $C_2$ are externally tangent, and they are both internally tangent to circle $C_3$. The radii of $C_1$ and $C_2$ are $4$ and $10$, respectively, and the centers of the three circles are all collinear. A chord of $C_3$ is also a common external tangent of $C_1$ and $C_2$. Given that the length of the chord is $\frac{m\sqrt{n}}{p}$ where $m,n,$ and $p$ are positive integers, $m$ and $p$ are relatively prime, and $n$ is not divisible by the square of any prime, find $m+n+p$.

We consider $\Gamma_1$ and $\Gamma_2$ two circles that intersect at points $P$ and $Q$ . Let $A , B$ and $C$ be points on the circle $\Gamma_1$ and $D , E$ and $F$ points on the circle $\Gamma_2$ so that the lines $A E$ and $B D$ intersect at $P$ and the lines $A F$ and $C D$ intersect at $Q$.

Let $\triangle ABC$ have side lengths $AB=7$, $BC=8$, and $CA=9$. Let $D$ be the projection from $A$ to $\overline{BC}$ and $D'$ be the reflection of $D$ over the perpendicular bisector of $\overline{BC}$. Let $P$ and $Q$ be distinct points on the line through $D'$ parallel to $\overline{AC}$ such that $\angle APB = \angle AQB = 90^{\circ}$. The value of $AP+AQ$ can be written as $\tfrac{a+b\sqrt{c}}{d}$, where $a$, $b$, $c$, and $d$ are positive integers such that $b$ and $d$ are relatively prime, and $c$ is not divisible by the square of any prime.

When submitting problems, Steven the troll likes to submit silly names rather than his own. On day $1$, he gives no name at all. Every day after that, he alternately adds $2$ words and $4$ words to his name. For example, on day $4$ he submits an $8\text{-word}$ name. On day $n$ he submits the $44\text{-word name}$ “Steven the AJ Dennis the DJ Menace the Prince of Tennis the Merchant of Venice the Hygienist the Evil Dentist the Major Premise the AJ Lettuce the Novel’s Preface the Core Essence the Young and the Reckless the Many Tenants the Deep, Dark Crevice”.
