Let ABCABC be a triangle with AB=5,BC=4AB=5, BC=4 and AC=3AC=3. Let P\mathcal{P} and Q\mathcal{Q} be squares inside ABCABC with disjoint interiors such that they both have one side lying on ABAB. Also, the two squares each have an edge lying on a common line perpendicular to ABAB, and P\mathcal{P} has one vertex on ACAC and Q\mathcal{Q} has one vertex on BCBC. Determine the minimum value of the sum of the areas of the two squares.

Original LaTeX notation
Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $AB=5, BC=4$ and $AC=3$. Let $\mathcal{P}$ and $\mathcal{Q}$ be squares inside $ABC$ with disjoint interiors such that they both have one side lying on $AB$. Also, the two squares each have an edge lying on a common line perpendicular to $AB$, and $\mathcal{P}$ has one vertex on $AC$ and $\mathcal{Q}$ has one vertex on $BC$. Determine the minimum value of the sum of the areas of the two squares.
