2014 AIME II Problem 11

In \triangle RED, \measuredangle DRE=75^{\circ} and \measuredangle RED=45^{\circ}. |RD|=1. Let M be the midpoint of segment \overline{RD}. Point C lies on side \overline{ED} such that \overline{RC}\perp\overline{EM}. Extend segment \overline{DE} through E to point A such that CA=AR. Then AE=\frac{a-\sqrt{b}}{c}, where a and c are relatively prime positive integers, and b is a positive integer. Find a+b+c.

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