Let ABCABC be an equilateral triangle with side length 11. This triangle is rotated by some angle about its center to form triangle DEFDEF. The intersection of ABCABC and DEFDEF is an equilateral hexagon with an area that is 45\frac{4} {5} the area of ABCABC. The side length of this hexagon can be expressed in the form mn\frac{m}{n} where mm and nn are relatively prime positive integers. What is m+nm+n?
