A board 6464 inches long and 44 inches thick is inclined so that the long side of the board makes a 3030 degree angle with the ground. The distance from the ground to the highest point on the board can be expressed in the form a+bca+b\sqrt{c} where a,b,ca,b,c are positive integers and cc is not divisible by the square of any prime. What is a+b+ca+b+c?
