Problem Statement

Let ω\omega and Ω\Omega be circles of radius 11 and R>1R>1 respectively that are internally tangent at a point PP. Two tangent lines to ω\omega are drawn such that they meet Ω\Omega at only three points AA, BB, and CC, none of which are equal to PP. If triangle ABCABC has side lengths in a ratio of 3:4:53:4:5, find the sum of all possible values of RR.
