Let $ABCDE$ be a fixed regular pentagon of side length $1.$ An equilateral triangle $\triangle PQR$ with side length $1$ is initially placed with $P$ at $A, Q$ at $B,$ and $R$ outside the pentagon. The triangle then rolls without slipping around the perimeter of pentagon until it comes back to its starting point. The total area covered by any part of the triangle during its journey can be written as $\tfrac{a\sqrt{b}+c\pi}{d}$ for positive integers $a,b,c,d$ with $b$ square-free and $\gcd(a,c,d)=1.$ Find $a+b+c+d.$

Given a regular dodecagon (a convex polygon with 12 congruent sides and angles) with area 1, there are two possible ways to dissect this polygon into 12 equilateral triangles and 6 squares. Let $T_1$ denote the union of all triangles in the first dissection, and $S_1$ the union of all squares. Define $T_2$ and $S_2$ similarly for the second dissection. Let $S$ and $T$ denote the areas of $S_1 \cap S_2$ and $T_1 \cap T_2$, respectively. If $\frac{S}{T} = \frac{a+b\sqrt{3}}{c}$ where $a$ and $b$ are integers, $c$ is a positive integer, and $\gcd(a,c)=1$, compute $10000a+100b+c$. [i]Proposed by Lewis Chen[/i]
