2008 AIME I Problem 10

Let ABCD be an isosceles trapezoid with \overline{AD}||\overline{BC} whose angle at the longer base \overline{AD} is \dfrac{\pi}{3}. The diagonals have length 10\sqrt {21}, and point E is at distances 10\sqrt {7} and 30\sqrt {7} from vertices A and D, respectively. Let F be the foot of the altitude from C to \overline{AD}. The distance EF can be expressed 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
