Two different points, $J$ and $K$, lie on the same side of line $GH$ so that $\triangle GHJ$ and $\triangle GHK$ are congruent with $GH = 15$, $HJ = GK = 8$, and $GJ = HK = 17$. The intersection of these two triangular regions has area $\tfrac {p}{q}$, where $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $p+q$.
