Problem Statement

A rectangular box has width 1212 inches, length 1616 inches, and height mn\tfrac{m}{n} inches, where mm and nn are relatively prime positive integers. Three faces of the box meet at a corner of the box. The center points of those three faces are the vertices of a triangle with an area of 3030 square inches. Find m+nm+n.
