In circle $\theta_1$ with radius $1$, circles $\phi_1, \phi_2, \dots, \phi_8$, with equal radii, are drawn such that for $1 \le i \le 8$, $\phi_i$ is tangent to $\omega_1$, $\phi_{i-1}$, and $\phi_{i+1}$, where $\phi_0 = \phi_8$ and $\phi_1 = \phi_9$. There exists a circle $\omega_2$ such that $\omega_1 \neq \omega_2$ and $\omega_2$ is tangent to $\phi_i$ for $1 \le i \le 8$.

Given a point $P$ on a triangular piece of paper $ABC,$ consider the creases that are formed in the paper when $A, B,$ and $C$ are folded onto $P.$ Let us call $P$ a fold point of $\triangle ABC$ if these creases, which number three unless $P$ is one of the vertices, do not intersect. Suppose that $AB=36, AC=72,$ and $\angle B=90^\circ.$ Then the area of the set of all fold points of $\triangle ABC$ can be written in the form $q\pi-r\sqrt{s},$ where $q, r,$ and $s$ are positive integers and $s$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. What is $q+r+s$?
