14. In △ABC, AB=10, ∠A=30∘, and ∠C=45∘. Let H, D, and M be points on the line BC such that AH⊥BC, ∠BAD=∠CAD, and . Point is the midpoint of the segment , and point is on ray such that PN⊥BC. Then , where and are relatively prime positive integers. Find .

As we can see,
is the midpoint of and is the midpoint of
is a triangle, so ∠HAB=15∘.
is .
and are parallel lines so is also.
Then if we use those informations we get and
and $AP=AD−PD=2HD−2ND=2HN$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) or
