problem

A rectangular box PP has distinct edge lengths aa, bb, and cc. The sum of the lengths of all 1212 edges of PP is 1313, the areas of all 66 faces of PP is 112\frac{11}{2}, and the volume of PP is 12\frac{1}{2}. Find the length of the longest interior diagonal connecting two vertices of PP. The final answer can be written in the form mn\frac{m}{n}, where mm and nn are relatively prime positive integers. What is m+nm+n?

Find the length of the longest interior diagonal connecting two vertices of P. The final answer can be written in the form (m)/(n), where m and n are relatively prime positive integers. What is m+n?
Original LaTeX notation
A rectangular box $P$ has distinct edge lengths $a$, $b$, and $c$. The sum of the lengths of all $12$ edges of $P$ is $13$, the areas of all $6$ faces of $P$ is $\frac{11}{2}$, and the volume of $P$ is $\frac{1}{2}$. Find the length of the longest interior diagonal connecting two vertices of $P$. The final answer can be written in the form $\frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. What is $m+n$?
