The total area occupied by $1$ of each of the different types of CDs can be expressed in the form $a + b\pi + c\sqrt{d}$ where $d$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $a + b + c + d$.

It takes $A$ algebra books (all the same thickness) and $H$ geometry books (all the same thickness, which is greater than that of an algebra book) to completely fill a certain shelf. Also, $S$ of the algebra books and $M$ of the geometry books would fill the same shelf. Finally, $E$ of the algebra books alone would fill this shelf. Given that $A, H, S, M, E$ are distinct positive integers, it follows that $E$ is $ \textbf{(A)}\ \frac{AM+SH}{M+H} \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ \frac{AM^2+SH^2}{M^2+H^2} \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ \frac{AH-SM}{M-H} \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ \frac{AM-SH}{M-H} \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \frac{AM^2-SH^2}{M^2-H^2} $
