Problem Statement

Draw an equilateral triangle with center OO. Rotate the equilateral triangle 30,60,9030^\circ, 60^\circ, 90^\circ with respect to OO so there would be four congruent equilateral triangles on each other. Look at the diagram. If the smallest triangle has area 11, the area of the original equilateral triangle could be expressed as p+qrp+q\sqrt r where p,q,rp,q,r are positive integers and rr is not divisible by a square greater than 11. Find p+q+rp+q+r.
