2019 AIME I Problem 12

Given f(z) = z^2-19z, there are complex numbers z with the property that z, f(z), and f(f(z)) are the vertices of a right triangle in the complex plane with a right angle at f(z). There are positive integers m and n such that one such value of z is m+\sqrt{n}+11i. Find m+n.

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