Problem Statement

ABC\vartriangle ABC has AB=5AB = 5, BC=12BC = 12, and AC=13AC = 13. A circle is inscribed in ABC\vartriangle ABC, and MNMN tangent to the circle is drawn such that MM is on AC\overline{AC}, NN is on BC\overline{BC}, and MNAB\overline{MN} \parallel \overline{AB}. The area of MNC\vartriangle MNC is m/nm/n , where mm and nn are relatively prime positive integers. Find m+nm + n.
