1995 AIME Problem 12

Pyramid OABCD has square base ABCD, congruent edges \overline{OA}, \overline{OB}, \overline{OC}, and \overline{OD}, and \angle AOB=45^\circ. Let \theta be the measure of the dihedral angle formed by faces OAB and OBC. Given that \cos \theta=m+\sqrt{n}, where m_{} and n_{} are integers, find m+n.

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