Find the area of ​the $AFRC$ quadrilateral below.

95 Views Asked by At

For reference: On sides $AB$ and $BC$ of a triangle $ABC$, they are built outwardly the $ABFL$ and $BCQR$ squares; the segment that joins the centers of the squares measures $8m$. Calculate the area of ​​the $AFRC$ quadrilateral.(Answer:$64m^2$)

My progress:

$S_{FBA}=\frac{S_{FBMA}}{2}=\frac{l^2}{2}\\ S_{CBR} = \frac{S_{BRQC}}{2}=\frac{L^2}{2}\\ S_{AFRC} = \frac{L^2+l^2}{2}+S_{FBR}+S_{ABC}$

I can't see the use of the DE segment enter image description here

If $\angle ABC = \theta, \angle CBF = \angle ABR = \angle DBE = 90^\circ + \theta$

We also have $AB = BF, BC = BR$ and $BD:BE = BF:BC = AB:BR$

So $\triangle ABR \cong \triangle FBC$ and $\triangle ABR \sim \triangle DBE$

That leads to $AR \perp CF$ and $AR = CF = 8 \sqrt2$

Therefore $S_{AFRC} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 8 \sqrt2 \cdot 8 \sqrt2 = 64$
