Given is a acute angled triangle ABCABC. The lengths of the altitudes from A,BA, B and CC are successively hA,hBh_A, h_B and hCh_C. Inside the triangle is a point PP. The distance from PP to BCBC is 1/3hA1/3 h_A and the distance from PP to ACAC is 1/4hB1/4 h_B. Express the distance from PP to ABAB in terms of hCh_C.
