Problem

Isosceles $\triangle ABC$ has a right angle at $C$. Point $P$ is inside $\triangle ABC$, such that $PA=11$, $PB=7$, and $PC=6$. Legs $\overline{AC}$ and $\overline{BC}$ have length $s=\sqrt{a+b\sqrt{2}{$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg), where $a$ and $b$ are positive integers. What is $a+$b$?$\mathrm{(A)}\ 85\qquad\mathrm{(B)}\ 91 \qquad\mathrm{(C)}\ 108\qquad\mathrm{(D)}\ 121\qquad\mathrm{(E)}\ 127$
