2013 AIME II Problem 13

In \triangle ABC, AC = BC, and point D is on \overline{BC} so that CD = 3\cdot BD. Let E be the midpoint of \overline{AD}. Given that CE = \sqrt{7} and BE = 3, the area of \triangle ABC 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
