Draw an equilateral triangle with center $O$. Rotate the equilateral triangle $30^\circ, 60^\circ, 90^\circ$ with respect to $O$ so there would be four congruent equilateral triangles on each other. Look at the diagram. If the smallest triangle has area $1$, the area of the original equilateral triangle could be expressed as $p+q\sqrt r$ where $p,q,r$ are positive integers and $r$ is not divisible by a square greater than $1$. Find $p+q+r$.
