Problem Statement

Let ABC\vartriangle ABC be an equilateral triangle. Points D,E,FD,E, F are drawn on sides ABAB,BCBC, and CACA respectively such that [ADF]=[BED]+[CEF][ADF] = [BED] + [CEF] and ADFBEDCEF\vartriangle ADF \sim \vartriangle BED \sim \vartriangle CEF. The ratio [ABC][DEF]\frac{[ABC]}{[DEF]} can be expressed as a+bcd\frac{a+b\sqrt{c}}{d} , where aa, bb, cc, and dd are positive integers such that aa and dd are relatively prime, and cc is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find a+b+c+da + b + c + d. (Here [P][P] denotes the area of polygon PP.)
