Let RR , SS , and TT be squares that have vertices at lattice points (i.e., points whose coordinates are both integers) in the coordinate plane, together with their interiors. The bottom edge of each square is on the xx -axis. The left edge of RR and the right edge of SS are on the yy -axis, and RR contains 94\frac{9}{4} as many lattice points as does SS . The top two vertices of TT are in RSR \cup S , and TT contains 14\frac{1}{4} of the lattice points contained in RS.R \cup S. See the figure (not drawn to scale). figure The fraction of lattice points in SS that are in STS \cap T is 2727 times the fraction of lattice points in RR that are in RTR \cap T . What is the minimum possible value of the edge length of RR plus the edge length of SS plus the edge length of TT ?
