  • Answer

In the diagram below, ABCDABCD is a rectangle with side lengths AB=3AB=3 and BC=11BC=11, and AECFAECF is a rectangle with side lengths AF=7AF=7 and FC=9,FC=9, as shown. The area of the shaded region common to the interiors of both rectangles is mn\frac mn, where mm and nn are relatively prime positive integers. Find m+nm+n. [asy] pair A, B, C, D, E, F; A=(0,3); B=(0,0); C=(11,0); D=(11,3); E=foot(C, A, (9/4,0)); F=foot(A, C, (35/4,3)); draw(A--B--C--D--cycle); draw(A--E--C--F--cycle); filldraw(A--(9/4,0)--C--(35/4,3)--cycle,gray0.5+0.5lightgray); dot(A^^B^^C^^D^^E^^F); label("AA", A, W); label("BB", B, W); label("CC", C, (1,0)); label("DD", D, (1,0)); label("FF", F, N); label("EE", E, S); [/asy]
