### Problem: Finding Maximum and Minimum Temperatures on a Metal Plate

The temperature at a point \((x, y)\) on a metal plate is given by the function:

\[ T(x, y) = 144x^2 - 144xy + 36y^2 \]

An ant on the plate walks around a circle with a radius of 5 centered at the origin. The task is to determine the highest and lowest temperatures encountered by the ant as it traverses this path.

\[ ... \]

#### Solution:

The minimum temperature is \(\boxed{\phantom{xx}}\) degrees.
