Let ABCABC be a triangle. The angle bisector of ∠B\angle B intersects ACAC at point PP, while the angle bisector of ∠C\angle C intersects ABAB at a point QQ. Suppose the area of △ABP\triangle ABP is 27, the area of △ACQ\triangle ACQ is 32, and the area of △ABC\triangle ABC is 7272. The length of BC‾\overline{BC} can be written in the form mnm\sqrt n where mm and nn are positive integers with nn as small as possible. What is m+nm+n?
