Problem Statement

One right pyramid has a base that is a regular hexagon with side length 11, and the height of the pyramid is 88. Two other right pyramids have bases that are regular hexagons with side length 44, and the heights of those pyramids are both 77. The three pyramids sit on a plane so that their bases are adjacent to each other and meet at a single common vertex. A sphere with radius 44 rests above the plane supported by these three pyramids. The distance that the center of the sphere is from the plane can be written as pqr\frac{p\sqrt{q}}{r} , where p,qp, q, and rr are relatively prime positive integers, and qq is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find p+q+rp+q+r.
