2011 AIME I Problem 2
In rectangle ABCD, AB = 12 and BC = 10. Points E and F lie inside rectangle ABCD so that BE = 9, DF = 8, \overline{BE} \parallel \overline{DF}, \overline{EF} \parallel \overline{AB}, and line BE intersects segment \overline{AD}. The length EF can be expressed in the form m \sqrt{n} - p, where m, n, and p are positive integers 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
