Problem Statement

Triangle WSEWSE has side lengths WS=13WS=13, SE=15SE=15, and WE=14WE=14. Points JJ and HH lie on SE\overline{SE} such that SJ=JH=HE=5SJ=JH=HE=5. Let the angle bisector of WES\angle{WES} intersect WH\overline{WH} and WJ\overline{WJ} at points MM and TT, respectively. Find the area of quadrilateral JHMTJHMT.
