Let $D$ be a dodecahedron which can be inscribed in a sphere with radius $R$. Let $I$ be an icosahedron which can also be inscribed in a sphere of radius $R$. Which has the greater volume, and why? Note: A regular [i]polyhedron [/i] is a geometric solid, all of whose faces are congruent regular polygons, in which the same number of polygons meet at each vertex. A regular dodecahedron is a polyhedron with $12$ faces which are regular pentagons and a regular icosahedron is a polyhedron with $20$ faces which are equilateral triangles. A polyhedron is inscribed in a sphere if all of its vertices lie on the surface of the sphere. The illustration below shows a dodecahdron and an icosahedron, not necessarily to scale.

In triangle $ABC$ we inscribe a square such that one of the sides of the square lies on the side $AC$, and the other two vertices lie on sides $AB$ and $BC$. Furthermore we know that $AC = 5$, $BC = 4$ and $AB = 3$. This square cuts out three smaller triangles from $\vartriangle ABC$. Express the sum of reciprocals of the inradii of these three small triangles as a fraction $p/q$ in lowest terms (i.e. with $p$ and $q$ coprime). What is $p + q$?
