Let $ ABC$ be an acute angled triangle whose circumcenter is $ O$. The three diameters of the circumcircle that pass through $ A$, $ B$, and $ C$, meet the opposite sides $ BC$, $ CA$, and $ AB$ at the points $ A_1$, $ B_1$ and $ C_1$, respectively. The circumradius of $ ABC$ is of length $ 2P$, where $ P$ is a prime number. The lengths of $ OA_1$, $ OB_1$, $ OC_1$ are integers. What are the lengths of the sides of the triangle?
