Problem
Three identical square sheets of paper each with side length 
are stacked on top of each other. The middle sheet is rotated clockwise 
about its center and the top sheet is rotated clockwise 
about its center, resulting in the

, where 
, 
, and 
are positive integers, and is not divisible by the square of any prime. What is 
?
