Let \mathcal{B} be the set of rectangular boxes with surface area 54 and volume 23. Let r be the radius of the smallest sphere that can contain each of the rectangular boxes that are elements of \mathcal{B}. The value of r^2 can be written as \frac{p}{q}, where p and q are relatively prime positive integers. Find p + q.

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