Let $ABC$ be an equilateral triangle with side length $1$. This triangle is rotated by some angle about its center to form triangle $DEF.$ The intersection of $ABC$ and $DEF$ is an equilateral hexagon with an area that is $\frac{4} {5}$ the area of $ABC.$ The side length of this hexagon can be expressed in the form $\frac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. What is $m+n$? [i]Author: Ray Li[/i]
