Semicircle \Gamma has diameter \overline{AB} of length 14. Circle \Omega lies tangent to \overline{AB} at a point P and intersects \Gamma at points Q and R. If QR=3\sqrt3 and \angle QPR=60^\circ, then the area of \triangle PQR equals \tfrac{a\sqrt{b}}{c}, where a and c are relatively prime positive integers, and b is a positive integer not divisible by the square of any prime. What is a+b+c?
