In rectangle PQRSPQRS , PQ=8PQ=8 and QR=6QR=6 . Points AA and BB lie on PQ\overline{PQ} , points CC and DD lie on QR\overline{QR} , points EE and FF lie on RS\overline{RS} , and points GG and HH lie on SP\overline{SP} so that AP=BQ<4AP=BQ<4 and the convex octagon ABCDEFGHABCDEFGH is equilateral. The length of a side of this octagon can be expressed in the form k+mnk+m\sqrt{n} , where kk , mm , and nn are integers and nn is not divisible by the square of any prime. What is k+m+nk+m+n ?
