2008 AIME I Problem 10


Let ABCDABCD be an isosceles trapezoid with ADBC\overline{AD}||\overline{BC} whose angle at the longer base AD\overline{AD} is π3\dfrac{\pi}{3}. The diagonals have length 102110\sqrt {21}, and point EE is at distances 10710\sqrt {7} and 30730\sqrt {7} from vertices AA and DD, respectively. Let FF be the foot of the altitude from CC to AD\overline{AD}. The distance EFEF can be expressed in the form mnm\sqrt {n}, where mm and nn are positive integers and nn is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find m+nm + n.


Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034. Full credit goes to MAA for authoring these problems. These problems were taken on the AOPS website.
