and we're done since 2 does not divide . So we have
According to given conditions, m+n is equal to 409.
Consider the diagram below.
In the hexagon ABCDEF, let
AB = BC = CD = 3;
DE = EF = FA = 5;
Arc BAF is equal to one-third of the circle's circumference.
Hence, ∠BCF = ∠BEF = 60°;
Similarly, ∠CBE = ∠CFE = 60°;
Let the point of intersection of BE and CF be P, BE and AD be Q and CF and AD be R.
∴ Δ EFP and Δ BCP are equilateral, and so Δ PQR is also equilateral.
Also, ∠ BAD and ∠ BED subtend the same arc and so do ∠ ABE and ∠ ADE.
∴ Δ ABQ is similar to Δ EDQ
Also,
and
On solving these simultaneous equations, we get AD = 360/49
∴ m + n = 409.
