Analytic Geometry

Triangle ABC has vertices A(0, 0), B(0, 3) and C(5, 0). A point P inside the triangle is sqrt{10} units from point A and sqrt{13} units from point B. How many units is P from point C? Express your answer in simplest radical form.

In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
