Question 9

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with sides $3,$ $4,$ and $5,$ and $DEFG$ be a $6$-by-$7$ rectangle. A segment is drawn to divide triangle $ABC$ into a triangle $U_1$ and a trapezoid $V_1,$ and another segment is drawn to divide rectangle $DEFG$ into a triangle $U_2$ and a trapezoid $V_2$ such that $U_1$ is similar to $U_2$ and $V_1$ is similar to $V_2.$ The minimum value of the area of $U_1$ can be written in the form $\frac{m}{n},$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n.$
