Problem Statement

A circle of radius 1 is randomly placed in a 15-by-36 rectangle ABCDABCD so that the circle lies completely within the rectangle. Given that the probability that the circle will not touch diagonal ACAC is m/nm/n, where mm and nn are relatively prime positive integers. Find m+nm + n.
