Problem Statement

Let ABCABC be an acute triangle with BC=4BC = 4 and AC=5AC = 5. Let DD be the midpoint of BCBC, EE be the foot of the altitude from BB to ACAC, and FF be the intersection of the angle bisector of BCA\angle BCA with segment ABAB. Given that ADAD, BEBE, and CFCF meet at a single point PP, compute the area of triangle ABCABC. Express your answer as a common fraction in simplest radical form.
