Convex quadrilateral $ABCD$ has side-lengths $AB=7$, $BC=9$, $CD=15$, and there exists a circle, lying inside the quadrilateral and having center $I$, that is tangent to all four sides of the quadrilateral. Points $M$ and $N$ are the midpoints of $AC$ and $BD$ respectively. It can be proven that point $I$ always lies on segment $MN$. Supposing further that $I$ is the midpoint of $MN$, the area of quadrilateral $ABCD$ may be expressed as $p\sqrt q$, where $p$ and $q$ are positive integers and $q$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Compute $p\cdot q$.
