Solution 1

Lemma: If x,yx,y satisfy px+qy=1px+qy=1, then the minimal value of x2+y2\sqrt{x^2+y^2} is 1p2+q2\frac{1}{\sqrt{p^2+q^2}}.

Proof: Recall that the distance between the point (x0,y0)(x_0,y_0) and the line px+qy+r=0px+qy+r = 0 is given by px0+qy0+rp2+q2\frac{|px_0+qy_0+r|}{\sqrt{p^2+q^2}}. In particular, the distance between the origin and any point (x,y)(x,y) on the line px+qy=1px+qy=1 is at least 1p2+q2\frac{1}{\sqrt{p^2+q^2}}.

Let the vertices of the right triangle be (0,0),(5,0),(0,23),(0,0),(5,0),(0,2\sqrt{3}), and let (a,0),(0,b)(a,0),(0,b) be the two vertices of the equilateral triangle on the legs of the right triangle. Then, the third vertex of the equilateral triangle is (a+b32,a3+b2)\left(\frac{a+b\sqrt{3}}{2},\frac{a\sqrt{3}+b}{2}\right). This point must lie on the hypotenuse x5+y23=1\frac{x}{5} + \frac{y}{2\sqrt{3}} = 1, i.e. a,ba,b must satisfy

a+b310+a3+b43=1,\frac{a+b\sqrt{3}}{10}+\frac{a\sqrt{3}+b}{4\sqrt{3}} = 1, which can be simplified to

720a+11360b=1.\frac{7}{20}a + \frac{11\sqrt{3}}{60}b = 1. By the lemma, the minimal value of a2+b2\sqrt{a^2+b^2} is

1(720)2+(11360)2=10367,\frac{1}{\sqrt{\left(\frac{7}{20}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{11\sqrt{3}}{60}\right)^2}} = \frac{10\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{67}}, so the minimal area of the equilateral triangle is

34(10367)2=3430067=75367,\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \cdot \left(\frac{10\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{67}}\right)^2 = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \cdot \frac{300}{67} = \frac{75\sqrt{3}}{67}, and hence the answer is 75+3+67=14575+3+67=\boxed{145}.

Solution 2

Let AB=23,BC=5AB=2\sqrt{3}, BC=5, DD lies on BCBC, FF lies on ABAB and EE lies on ACAC

Set DD as the origin, BD=a,BF=bBD=a,BF=b, FF can be expressed as a+bi-a+bi in argand plane, the distance of CDCD is 5a5-a

We know that (a+bi)[cos(π3)+isin(π3)]=(a+3b2+3a+b2i)(-a+bi)\cdot[\cos(-\frac{\pi}{3})+ i\sin(-\frac{\pi}{3})]=(-\frac{a+\sqrt{3}b}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{3}a+b}{2}i). We know that the slope of ACAC is 235-\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{5}, we have that 5a(a+3b2)(3a+b)/2=523\frac{5-a-(-\frac{a+\sqrt{3}b}{2})}{(\sqrt{3}a+b)/2}=\frac{5}{2\sqrt{3}}, after computation, we have 11b+73a=20311b+7\sqrt{3}a=20\sqrt{3}

Now the rest is easy with C-S inequality, (a2+b2)(147+121)(73a+11b)2,a2+b230067(a^2+b^2)(147+121)\geq (7\sqrt{3}a+11b)^2, a^2+b^2\geq \frac{300}{67} so the smallest area is 3430067=75367\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\cdot \frac{300}{67}=\frac{75\sqrt{3}}{67}, and the answer is 145\boxed{145}

Solution 3

Let ABC\triangle ABC be the right triangle with sides AB=xAB = x, AC=yAC = y, and BC=zBC = z and right angle at AA.

Let an equilateral triangle touch ABAB, ACAC, and BCBC at DD, EE, and FF respectively, having side lengths of cc.

Now, call ADAD as aa and AEAE as bb. Thus, DB=xaDB = x-a and EC=ybEC = y-b.

By Law of Sines on triangles DBF\triangle DBF and ECFECF,

BF=z(a3+b)2yBF = \frac{z(a\sqrt{3}+b)} {2y} and CF=z(a+b3)2xCF = \frac{z(a+b\sqrt{3})} {2x}.

Summing,

BF+CF=z(a3+b)2y+z(a+b3)2x=BC=zBF+CF = \frac{z(a\sqrt{3}+b)} {2y} + \frac{z(a+b\sqrt{3})} {2x} = BC = z.

Now substituting AB=x=23AB = x = 2\sqrt{3}, AC=y=5AC = y = 5, and BC=37BC = \sqrt{37} and solving, 7a20+11b360=1\frac{7a}{20} + \frac{11b\sqrt{3}}{60} = 1.

We seek to minimize [DEF]=c234=(a2+b2)34[DEF] = c^2 \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} = (a^2 + b^2) \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}.

This is equivalent to minimizing a2+b2a^2+b^2.

Using the lemma from solution 1, we conclude that a2+b2=10367\sqrt{a^2+b^2} = \frac{10\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{67}}

Thus, [DEF]=75367[DEF] = \frac{75\sqrt{3}}{67} and our final answer is 145\boxed{145}

Let ED=DF=x,AC=5,BAC=α,CDE=β.ED = DF = x, AC = 5, \angle BAC = \alpha, \angle CDE = \beta.

Solution 5 (Complex numbers)

We will use complex numbers. Set the vertex at the right angle to be the origin, and set the axes so the other two vertices are 55 and 23i2\sqrt{3}i, respectively. Now let the vertex of the equilateral triangle on the real axis be aa and let the vertex of the equilateral triangle on the imaginary axis be bibi. Then, the third vertex of the equilateral triangle is given by:

(bia)eπ3i+a=(bia)(1232i)+a=(a2+b32)+(a32+b2)i(bi-a)e^{-\frac{\pi}{3}i}+a=(bi-a)(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}i)+a=(\frac{a}{2}+\frac{b\sqrt{3}}{2})+(\frac{a\sqrt{3}}{2}+\frac{b}{2})i .

For this to be on the hypotenuse of the right triangle, we also have the following:

a32+12a2+b325=235    73a+11b=203\frac{\frac{a\sqrt{3}}{2}+\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{a}{2}+\frac{b\sqrt{3}}{2}-5}=-\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{5}\iff 7\sqrt{3}a+11b=20\sqrt{3} Note that the area of the equilateral triangle is given by 3(a2+b2)4\frac{\sqrt{3}(a^2+b^2)}{4}, so we seek to minimize a2+b2a^2+b^2. This can be done by using the Cauchy Schwarz Inequality on the relation we derived above:

1200=(73a+11b)2((73)2+112)(a2+b2)    a2+b212002681200=(7\sqrt{3}a+11b)^2\leq ((7\sqrt{3})^2+11^2)(a^2+b^2)\implies a^2+b^2\geq \frac{1200}{268} Thus, the minimum we seek is simply 341200268=75367\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\cdot\frac{1200}{268}=\frac{75\sqrt{3}}{67}, so the desired answer is 145\boxed{145}.

Solution 6

In the complex plane, let the vertices of the triangle be a=5,a = 5, b=2i3,b = 2i \sqrt{3}, and c=0.c = 0. Let ee be one of the vertices, where ee is real. A point on the line passing through a=5a = 5 and b=2i3b = 2i \sqrt{3} can be expressed in the form

f=(1t)a+tb=5(1t)+2ti3.f = (1 - t) a + tb = 5(1 - t) + 2ti \sqrt{3}. We want the third vertex dd to lie on the line through bb and c,c, which is the imaginary axis, so its real part is 0. Since the small triangle is equilateral, de=cos60(fe),d - e = \cos 60^\circ \cdot (f - e), or

de=1+i32(5(1t)e+2ti3).d - e = \frac{1 + i \sqrt{3}}{2} \cdot (5(1 - t) - e + 2ti \sqrt{3}). Then the real part of dd is

5(1t)e23t+e=0.\frac{5(1 - t) - e}{2} - 3t + e = 0. Solving for tt in terms of e,e, we find

t=e+511.t = \frac{e + 5}{11}. Then

f=5(6e)11+2(e+5)311i,f = \frac{5(6 - e)}{11} + \frac{2(e + 5) \sqrt{3}}{11} i, so

fe=3016e11+2(e+5)311i,f - e = \frac{30 - 16e}{11} + \frac{2(e + 5) \sqrt{3}}{11} i, so

fe2=(3016e11)2+(2(e+5)311)2=268e2840e+1200121.\begin{aligned} |f - e|^2 &= \left( \frac{30 - 16e}{11} \right)^2 + \left( \frac{2(e + 5) \sqrt{3}}{11} \right)^2 \\ &= \frac{268e^2 - 840e + 1200}{121}. \end{aligned} This quadratic is minimized when e=8402268=10567,e = \frac{840}{2 \cdot 268} = \frac{105}{67}, and the minimum is 30067,\frac{300}{67}, so the smallest area of the equilateral triangle is

3430067=75367.\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \cdot \frac{300}{67} = \boxed{\frac{75 \sqrt{3}}{67}}.

Solution 7

We can use complex numbers. Set the origin at the right angle. Let the point on the real axis be aa and the point on the imaginary axis be bibi. Then, we see that (abi)(cisπ3)+bi=(abi)(12+i32)+bi=(12a+32b)+i(32a+12b).(a-bi)\left(\text{cis}\frac{\pi}{3}\right)+bi=(a-bi)\left(\frac{1}{2}+i\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)+bi=\left(\frac{1}{2}a+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}b\right)+i\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}a+\frac{1}{2}b\right). Now we switch back to Cartesian coordinates. The equation of the hypotenuse is y=235x+23.y=-\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{5}x+2\sqrt{3}. This means that the point (12a+32b,32a+12b)\left(\frac{1}{2}a+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}b,\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}a+\frac{1}{2}b\right) is on the line. Plugging the numbers in, we have 32a+12b=35a35b+23    73a+11b=203.\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}a+\frac{1}{2}b=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{5}a-\frac{3}{5}b+2\sqrt{3} \implies 7\sqrt{3}a+11b=20\sqrt{3}. Now, we note that the side length of the equilateral triangle is a2+b2a^2+b^2 so it suffices to minimize that. By Cauchy-Schwarz, we have (a2+b2)(147+121)(73a+11b)2    (a2+b2)30067.(a^2+b^2)(147+121)\geq(7\sqrt{3}a+11b)^2 \implies (a^2+b^2)\geq\frac{300}{67}. Thus, the area of the smallest triangle is 3006734=75367\frac{300}{67}\cdot\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}=\frac{75\sqrt{3}}{67} so our desired answer is 145\boxed{145}.

Solution 8

Employ the same complex bash as in Solution 5, but instead note that minimizing x2+y2x^2+y^2 is the same as minimizing the distance from 0,0 to x,y, since they are the same quantity. We use point to plane instead, which gives you the required distance.

Solution 9 (Non Analytic)

Let SS be the triangle with side lengths 23, 5,2\sqrt{3},~5, and 37\sqrt{37}.

We will think about this problem backwards, by constructing a triangle as large as possible (We will call it TT, for convenience) which is similar to SS with vertices outside of a unit equilateral triangle ABC\triangle ABC, such that each vertex of the equilateral triangle lies on a side of TT. After we find the side lengths of TT, we will use ratios to trace back towards the original problem.

First of all, let θ=90\theta = 90^{\circ}, α=arctan(235)\alpha = \arctan\left(\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{5}\right), and β=arctan(523)\beta = \arctan\left(\frac{5}{2\sqrt{3}}\right) (These three angles are simply the angles of triangle SS; out of these three angles, α\alpha is the smallest angle, and θ\theta is the largest angle). Then let us consider a point PP inside ABC\triangle ABC such that APB=180θ\angle APB = 180^{\circ} - \theta, BPC=180α\angle BPC = 180^{\circ} - \alpha, and APC=180β\angle APC = 180^{\circ} - \beta. Construct the circumcircles ωAB, ωBC,\omega_{AB}, ~\omega_{BC}, and ωAC\omega_{AC} of triangles APB, BPC,APB, ~BPC, and APCAPC respectively.

From here, we will prove the lemma that if we choose points XX, YY, and ZZ on circumcircles ωAB, ωBC,\omega_{AB}, ~\omega_{BC}, and ωAC\omega_{AC} respectively such that XX, BB, and YY are collinear and YY, CC, and ZZ are collinear, then ZZ, AA, and XX must be collinear. First of all, if we let PAX=m\angle PAX = m, then PBX=180m\angle PBX = 180^{\circ} - m (by the properties of cyclic quadrilaterals), PBY=m\angle PBY = m (by adjacent angles), PCY=180m\angle PCY = 180^{\circ} - m (by cyclic quadrilaterals), PCZ=m\angle PCZ = m (adjacent angles), and PAZ=180m\angle PAZ = 180^{\circ} - m (cyclic quadrilaterals). Since PAX\angle PAX and PAZ\angle PAZ are supplementary, ZZ, AA, and XX are collinear as desired. Hence, XYZ\triangle XYZ has an inscribed equilateral triangle ABCABC.

In addition, now we know that all triangles XYZXYZ (as described above) must be similar to triangle SS, as AXB=θ\angle AXB = \theta and BYC=α\angle BYC = \alpha, so we have developed AAAA similarity between the two triangles. Thus, XYZ\triangle XYZ is the triangle similar to SS which we were desiring. Our goal now is to maximize the length of XYXY, in order to maximize the area of XYZXYZ, to achieve our original goal.

Note that, all triangles PYXPYX are similar to each other if YY, BB, and XX are collinear. This is because PYB\angle PYB is constant, and PXB\angle PXB is also a constant value. Then we have AAAA similarity between this set of triangles. To maximize XYXY, we can instead maximize PYPY, which is simply the diameter of ωBC\omega_{BC}. From there, we can determine that PBY=90\angle PBY = 90^{\circ}, and with similar logic, PAPA, PBPB, and PCPC are perpendicular to ZXZX, XYXY, and YZYZ respectively We have found our desired largest possible triangle TT.

All we have to do now is to calculate YZYZ, and use ratios from similar triangles to determine the side length of the equilateral triangle inscribed within SS. First of all, we will prove that ZPY=ACB+AXB\angle ZPY = \angle ACB + \angle AXB. By the properties of cyclic quadrilaterals, AXB=PAB+PBA\angle AXB = \angle PAB + \angle PBA, which means that ACB+AXB=180PACPBC\angle ACB + \angle AXB = 180^{\circ} - \angle PAC - \angle PBC. Now we will show that ZPY=180PACPBC\angle ZPY = 180^{\circ} - \angle PAC - \angle PBC. Note that, by cyclic quadrilaterals, YZP=PAC\angle YZP = \angle PAC and ZYP=PBC\angle ZYP = \angle PBC. Hence, ZPY=180PACPBC\angle ZPY = 180^{\circ} - \angle PAC - \angle PBC (since ZPY+YZP+ZYP=180\angle ZPY + \angle YZP + \angle ZYP = 180^{\circ}), proving the aforementioned claim. Then, since ACB=60\angle ACB = 60^{\circ} and AXB=θ=90\angle AXB = \theta = 90^{\circ}, ZPY=150\angle ZPY = 150^{\circ}.

Now we calculate PYPY and PZPZ, which are simply the diameters of circumcircles ωBC\omega_{BC} and ωAC\omega_{AC}, respectively. By the extended law of sines, PY=BCsinBPC=3723PY = \frac{BC}{\sin{BPC}} = \frac{\sqrt{37}}{2\sqrt{3}} and PZ=CAsinCPA=375PZ = \frac{CA}{\sin{CPA}} = \frac{\sqrt{37}}{5}.

We can now solve for ZYZY with the law of cosines:

(ZY)2=3725+3712(3753)(32)(ZY)^2 = \frac{37}{25} + \frac{37}{12} - \left(\frac{37}{5\sqrt{3}}\right)\left(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) (ZY)2=3725+3712+3710(ZY)^2 = \frac{37}{25} + \frac{37}{12} + \frac{37}{10} (ZY)2=3767300(ZY)^2 = \frac{37 \cdot 67}{300} ZY=3767103ZY = \sqrt{37} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{67}}{10\sqrt{3}} Now we will apply this discovery towards our original triangle SS. Since the ratio between ZYZY and the hypotenuse of SS is 67103\frac{\sqrt{67}}{10\sqrt{3}}, the side length of the equilateral triangle inscribed within SS must be 10367\frac{10\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{67}} (as SS is simply as scaled version of XYZXYZ, and thus their corresponding inscribed equilateral triangles must be scaled by the same factor). Then the area of the equilateral triangle inscribed within SS is 75367\frac{75\sqrt{3}}{67}, implying that the answer is 145\boxed{145}.

Solution 10

Let the right triangle's lower-left point be at O(0,0)O(0,0). Notice the 2 other points will determine a unique equilateral triangle. Let 2 points be on the xx-axis (BB) and the yy-axis (AA) and label them (b,0)(b, 0) and (0,a)(0, a) respectively. The third point (CC) will then be located on the hypotenuse. We proceed to find the third point's coordinates in terms of aa and bb.

1. Find the slope of ABAB and take the negative reciprocal of it to find the slope of the line containing CC. Notice the line contains the midpoint of ABAB so we can then have an equation of the line.

2. Let AB=x.AB=x. For ABCABC to be an equilateral triangle, the altitude from CC to ABAB must be x32.\frac{x\sqrt{3}}{2}.

We then have two equations and two variables, so we can solve for CC's coordinates.

We can find C(a+b32),(b+a32).C(\frac{a+b\sqrt{3}}{2}), (\frac{b+a\sqrt{3}}{2}). Also, note that CC must be on the hypotenuse of the triangle x5+y23=1.\frac{x}{5}+\frac{y}{2\sqrt{3}}=1. We can plug in xx and yy as the coordinates of CC, which simplifies to

11b+73a=203.11b+7\sqrt{3}a=20\sqrt{3}. We aim to minimize the side length of the triangle, which is a2+b2.\sqrt{a^2+b^2}. Applying the Cauchy inequality gives us

(a2+b2)(732+112)(11b+73a)2=1200(a^2+b^2)(7\sqrt{3}^2+11^2)\geq (11b+7\sqrt3a)^2 = 1200 From which we obtain a2+b230067.\sqrt{a^2+b^2} \geq \sqrt{\frac{300}{67}}. Thus, the area of the triangle = 75367\frac{75\sqrt{3}}{67} which leads to the answer 75+3+67=145.75+3+67=\boxed{145}.

The general solution to the minimal area is as following:

Amin=3m2n24(m2+n2+3mn),A_{min}={{\sqrt{3}m^2n^2}\over{4(m^2+n^2+\sqrt{3}mn)}}, where mm and nn are the two legs of the right triangle. In this particular case m=5m=5 and n=23n=2\sqrt{3}. When we plug in these two values, we recover the correct answer of 75367\frac{75\sqrt3}{67}.

The contour of the minimal area AminA_{min} is plotted as a function of leg lengths mm and nn, as shown on the right hand side.

Note

The proof of the formula can be done in a similar fashion as Solution 4, where instead of using specific values, we define variables, mm and nn in this case, as per the formula.

Solution 13 (Kinematics+Geometry)

AIME diagram

Let ED=DF=x,AC=5,BAC=α.ED = DF = x, AC = 5, \angle BAC = \alpha. Then cotα=523.\cot \alpha = \frac {5}{2\sqrt{3}}.

Let the required triangle with minimal sides DEFDEF be constructed.

Let us vary its position in an acceptable way, that is, we will perform a movement in which the vertices of the DEF\triangle DEF remain on the sides of the ABC.\triangle ABC. Any motion of a solid plane figure can be considered as rotation around some point, the center of rotation. The speed of movement of any point is perpendicular to the segment from the center of rotation to this point. With an acceptable variation, the velocities of the vertices of the DEF\triangle DEF are directed along the sides ABC.\triangle ABC. Consequently, there is a point XX located at the intersection of perpendiculars to the sides of ABC,\triangle ABC, around which DEF\triangle DEF rotates. The bases of the perpendiculars dropped from XX to the sides of ABC\triangle ABC form a regular DEF.\triangle DEF.

Therefore XX is the first isodynamic point of ABC.\triangle ABC.

It is known that AXB=ACB+60=150.\angle AXB = \angle ACB + 60^\circ = 150^\circ.

The points A,F,X,A, F, X, and EE are concyclic, AXAX is the diameter, so AX=xsinα.AX = \frac {x}{\sin \alpha}. Similarly, BX=xcosα.BX = \frac {x}{\cos \alpha}.

AX2+BX22AXBXcos150=AB2,AC=ABcosα    AX^2 + BX^2 - 2 AX BX \cos 150^\circ = AB^2, AC = AB \cos \alpha \implies AC2=x2(cot2α+3cotα+1).AC^2 = x^2 \cdot (\cot ^2 \alpha + \sqrt {3} \cot \alpha + 1). The smallest area [DEF][DEF] is

34xmin2=3AC24(cot2α+3cotα+1)=75367.\frac {\sqrt {3}}{4} \cdot x_{min}^2 = \frac {\sqrt {3} AC^2}{4 (\cot ^2 \alpha + \sqrt {3} \cot \alpha + 1)} = \frac{75 \sqrt{3}}{67}. vladimir.shelomovskii@gmail.com, vvsss

Solution 14 (Fastest Trig)

Let the right triangle be ABC\triangle ABC with BC=23BC=2\sqrt{3}, AC=5AC=5, and AB=37AB=\sqrt{37}, and let the equilateral be DEF\triangle DEF with D,E,FD, E, F on AC,AB,BCAC, AB, BC respectively. Call its side length xx. Let the foot from EE to BCBC be HH, and let EFH=θ\angle EFH=\theta. Since EFD=60\angle EFD=60^{\circ}, DFC=120θ\angle DFC=120^{\circ}-\theta. We get FC=xcos(120θ)FC=x\cos(120^{\circ}-\theta) and HF=xcosθHF=x\cos\theta. Meanwhile, since EH=xsinθEH =x\sin\theta and EBCABC\triangle EBC \sim \triangle ABC, BH=235xsinθBH=\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{5} x\sin\theta. We have

23=BC=BH+HF+FC=235xsinθ+xcosθ+xcos(120θ)2\sqrt{3}=BC=BH+HF+FC=\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{5}x\sin\theta + x\cos\theta +x\cos\left(120^{\circ}-\theta\right)     23=x(235sinθ+cosθ12cosθ+32sinθ)\implies 2\sqrt{3}=x\left(\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{5}\sin\theta+\cos\theta-\frac{1}{2}\cos\theta+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\sin\theta\right)     x=239310sinθ+12cosθ.\implies x=\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{\frac{9\sqrt{3}}{10}\sin\theta+\frac{1}{2}\cos\theta}.     [DEF]=34x2=3412(9310sinθ+12cosθ)2=33(9310sinθ+12cosθ)2\implies [\triangle DEF]=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}x^2=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\cdot \frac{12}{\left(\frac{9\sqrt{3}}{10}\sin\theta+\frac{1}{2}\cos\theta\right)^2}=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{\left(\frac{9\sqrt{3}}{10}\sin\theta+\frac{1}{2}\cos\theta \right)^2} By Cauchy-Schwarz,

(9310sinθ+12cosθ)2(cos2θ+sin2θ)((9310)2+(12)2)=6725\left(\frac{9\sqrt{3}}{10}\sin\theta+\frac{1}{2}\cos\theta \right)^2 \le \left(\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta\right)\left(\left(\frac{9\sqrt{3}}{10}\right)^2+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2\right)=\frac{67}{25}     [DEF]336725=75367.\implies [\triangle DEF] \ge \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{\frac{67}{25}}=\frac{75\sqrt{3}}{67}. The requested sum is 75+3+67=14575+3+67=\boxed{145}.
