Problem Statement

Let B\mathcal{B} be the set of rectangular boxes that have volume 2323 and surface area 5454. Suppose rr is the least possible radius of a sphere that can fit any element of B\mathcal{B} inside it. Then r2r^{2} can be expressed as pq\tfrac{p}{q}, where pp and qq are relatively prime positive integers. Find p+qp+q.
