Problem

Triangle ABCABC has side lengths AB=120AB=120, BC=220BC=220, AC=180AC=180. Lines A\ell_A, B\ell_B, C\ell_C are parallel to BCBC, ACAC, ABAB respectively, and the segments cut by ABC\triangle ABC on these lines have lengths 5555, 4545, 1515 respectively. Find the perimeter of the triangle bounded by A\ell_A, B\ell_B, C\ell_C.
