Problem

Circle $\omega_1$ with radius $6$ centered at point $A$ is internally tangent at point $B$ to circle $\omega_2$ with radius $15$. Points $C$ and $D$ lie on $\omega_2$ such that $\overline{BC}$ is a diameter of $\omega_2$ and $\overline{BC} \perp \overline{AD}$. The rectangle $EFGH$ is inscribed in $\omega_1$ such that $\overline{EF} \perp \overline{BC}$, $C$ is closer to $\overline{GH}$ than to $\overline{EF}$, and $D$ is closer to $\overline{FG}$ than to $\overline{EH}$, as shown. Triangles $\triangle DGF$ and $\triangle CHG$ have equal areas. The area of rectangle $EFGH$ is $\frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.

Solution

Denote the intersection of $BC$ and $w_1$ as $P$, the intersection of $BC$ and $GH$ be $Q$, and the center of $w_2$ to be $O$. Additionally, let $EF = GH = a, FG = EH = b$. We have that $CP = 18$ and $PQ = \frac{6-b}{2}$. Considering right triangle $OAD$, $AD = 12$. Letting $R$ be the intersection of $AD$ and $FG$, $DR = 12 - \frac{b}{2}$
