2003 AIME II Problem 11

Triangle ABC is a right triangle with AC = 7, BC = 24, and right angle at C. Point M is the midpoint of AB, and D is on the same side of line AB as C so that AD = BD = 15. Given that the area of triangle CDM may be expressed as \frac {m\sqrt {n}}{p}, where m, n, and p are positive integers, m and p are relatively prime, and n is not divisible by the square of any prime, find m + n + p.

Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034
