1996 AIME Problem 13

In triangle ABC, AB=\sqrt{30}, AC=\sqrt{6}, and BC=\sqrt{15}. There is a point D for which \overline{AD} bisects \overline{BC}, and \angle ADB is a right angle. The ratio

\dfrac{\text{Area}(\triangle ADB)}{\text{Area}(\triangle ABC)}

can be written in the form \dfrac{m}{n}, where m and n are relatively prime positive integers. Find m+n.

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