The diagram below shows a regular hexagon with an inscribed square where two sides of the square are parallel to two sides of the hexagon. There are positive integers $m$, $n$, and $p$ such that the ratio of the area of the hexagon to the area of the square can be written as $\tfrac{m+\sqrt{n}}{p}$ where $m$ and $p$ are relatively prime. Find $m + n + p$.
