Problem

Two different points, $C$ and $D$, lie on the same side of line $AB$ so that $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle BAD$ are congruent with $AB = 9$, $BC=AD=10$, and $CA=DB=17$. The intersection of these two triangular regions has area $\tfrac mn$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.
