The diagram below shows some small squares each with area $3$ enclosed inside a larger square. Squares that touch each other do so with the corner of one square coinciding with the midpoint of a side of the other square. Find integer $n$ such that the area of the shaded region inside the larger square but outside the smaller squares is $\sqrt{n}$.

Let $CH$ be the altitude of the triangle $ABC$ drawn on the board, in which $\angle C = 90^o$, $CA \ne CB$. The mathematics teacher drew the perpendicular bisectors of segments$ CA$ and $CB$, which cut the line CH at points $K$ and $M$, respectively, and then erased the drawing, leaving only the points $C, K$ and $M$ on the board. Restore triangle $ABC$, using only a compass and a ruler.
