2003 AIME II Problem 14

Let A = (0,0) and B = (b,2) be points on the coordinate plane. Let ABCDEF be a convex equilateral hexagon such that \angle FAB = 120^\circ, \overline{AB}\parallel \overline{DE}, \overline{BC}\parallel \overline{EF,} \overline{CD}\parallel \overline{FA}, and the y-coordinates of its vertices are distinct elements of the set \{0,2,4,6,8,10\}. The area of the hexagon can be written in the form m\sqrt {n}, where m and n are positive integers and n is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find m + n.

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