Problem Statement

Circles PP, QQ, and RR are externally tangent to one another. The external tangent of PP and QQ that does not intersect RR intersects PP and QQ at PQP_Q and QPQ_P , respectively. QRQ_R,RQR_Q,RPR_P , and PRP_R are defined similarly. If the radius of QQ is 44 and QPPQRQQR\overline{Q_PP_Q} \parallel \overline{R_QQ_R}, compute RPPRR_PP_R.
