2013 AIME I Problem 12

Let \bigtriangleup PQR be a triangle with \angle P = 75^o and \angle Q = 60^o. A regular hexagon ABCDEF with side length 1 is drawn inside \triangle PQR so that side \overline{AB} lies on \overline{PQ}, side \overline{CD} lies on \overline{QR}, and one of the remaining vertices lies on \overline{RP}. There are positive integers a, b, c, and d such that the area of \triangle PQR can be expressed in the form \frac{a+b\sqrt{c}}{d}, where a and d are relatively prime, and c is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find a+b+c+d.

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