Problem

Four regular hexagons surround a square with side length 1, each one sharing an edge with the square, as shown in the figure below. The area of the resulting 12-sided outer nonconvex polygon can be written as $m \sqrt{n} + p$, where $m$, $n$, and $p$ are integers and $n$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. What is $m+n+p$?

$\textbf{(A) } -12 \qquad \textbf{(B) }-4 \qquad  \textbf{(C) } 4 \qquad \textbf{(D) }24 \qquad \textbf{(E) }32$
