    In the third step, instead of considering the similar triangles, extend OP to become a diameter of the circle and then use the intersecting chords theorem: (32 - a√3)a√3 = (a√2 + a)(a√2 - a) = a² => a = 8√3

    Let the radius of semicircle O be r and the side length of square OPDE be s. Draw radius OD. As OD is also the diagonal of square OPDE, this gives us a direct relationship between s and r via Pythagoras: Triangle ∆OPD: OP² + PD² = OD² s² + s² = r² 2s² = r² s² = r²/2 s = √(r²/2) = r/√2 --- [1] r = √2s --- [2] Draw CB. By Thales' Theorem, as A and B are opposite ends of a diameter and C is a point on the circumference, then ∠BCA = 90°. As ∠AOP = 90° as well, and ∠PAO is common, triangles ∆AOP and ∆BCA are similar. Triangle ∆BCA: BC/CA = OP/OA BC/32 = s/r = (r/√2)/r --- [1] BC = 32/√2 = 16√2 BC² + CA² = AB² (16√2)² + 32² = (2r)² = (2(√2s))² --- [2] 8s² = 512 + 1024 = 1536 s² = 1536/8 = 192 sq units

    Recognizing that AO is the same as the diagonal of the square, that is, both are radii, I took that arctan of PAO as a/(a*2^.5) which was 1/2^5. That angle was 35.26438... So the cosine of this angle is 32 divided by 2*a*2^.5 (which is the diameter). Solve for a which is 13.85640646... Then square that number to equal 192.

    Be R the radius of the circle and t = angleBAC In triangle AOB: OP = R/sqrt(2) and AO = R Then AP^2 = OP^2 +AO^2 = (R^2)/2 + R^2 = (3/2).R^2 and AP = sqrt(3/2).R Then cos(t) = AO/AP = R/(sqrt(3/2).R) =sqrt(2/3) In triangle ABC: cos(t) = AC/AB, so: sqrt(2/3) = 32/(2.R) and R = 16.sqrt(3/2) The area of the square is (R/sqrt(2))^2 =(R^2)/2 = (256.(3/2))/2 = 64.3 = 192

    Diagonal of the square = radius of circle =a√2 AP =√[ (a√2)^2 +a^2]=a√3 DP is extended to T to get a chord. Now intersecting chord theorem states that DP *PT =AP *PC -- (1) (DP =PT =a) AP=a√3 PC= 32 - a√3 Now from equation No. 1 we get a^2= a √3(32 - a√3) > 4a^2=32a√3 > 4a =32√3 > a=8√3 a^2=(8√3)^2=64*3=192 Area of square = 192 sq units Comment please

    One more solution: 1. Let a= OP=PD; x=AP; PC = 32-x; 2. Let us extend DP to the left to intersect with the circle at point N => PN = PD = a; 3. PN*PD = x*(32-x) => a^2 = x*(32-x); (1) 4. x^2 = r^2 + a^2; (2) 5. r^2 = 2*a^2; (3) 6. system of equations {(1),(2),(3)} 7. let us put (3) into (2): x^2 = 3*a^2 => x = a*sqrt(3); (4) 8. Let us put (4) into (1): a^2=a*sqrt(3)*(32-a*sqrt(3)); as a!=0 lets devide both sides by a a = 32*sqrt(3) - 3*a; 4a = 32*sqrt(3); a= 8*sqrt(3); Ablue = a^2 = (8*sqrt(3))^2 = 64*3 = 192 sq units.

    3rd alternative solution: 1/ Just assume that a=1 so r= sqrt2 and AP= sqrt3 and area of blue square= 1 2/ The quadrilateral PCBO is cyclic so, APxAC=AOxAB-->ACxsqrt3=sqrt2x2sqrt2=4--> AC=4/sqrt3 Now if AC = 32, the area of the blue square = 1x sq((32/(4/sqrt3))=64x3= 192 sq units😊

    Let's find the area: . .. ... .... ..... Since OEDP is a square, all interior angles are right angles. Therefore the triangle ODE is a right triangle and we can apply the Pythagorean theorem. With r being the radius of the semicircle and s being the side length of the square we obtain: OD² = OE² + DE² r² = s² + s² = 2*s² According to Thales theorem the triangle ABC is a right triangle. The triangle OAP is also a right triangle. Now let's have a look at the interior angles of these two triangles: ∠AOP = ∠ACB = 90° ∠OAP = ∠BAC = α ∠APO = ∠ABC = β So these two triangles are similar and we can conclude: AO/AP = AC/AB r/AP = 32/(2*r) r/AP = 16/r AP/r = r/16 ⇒ AP = r²/16 Now we can apply the Pythagorean theorem to the right triangle OAP in order to obtain the area of the square: AP² = AO² + OP² (r²/16)² = r² + s² (2*s²/16)² = 2*s² + s² (s²/8)² = 3*s² s⁴/64 = 3*s² Since s=0 is not a useful solution, the only useful solution is: A(square) = s² = 3*64 = 192 Best regards from Germany

    Very nice! ∆ ABC → AB = 2r = AO + BO; AC = 32; ∎EDPO → PO = EO = DE = DP = a → DO = AO = BO = a√2 = r; sin⁡(AOP) = 1 → PAO = δ → PO = a; AO = a√2 → AP = a√3 → cos⁡(δ) = a√2/a√3 = √6/3 = 32/2a√2 → a = 8√3 → ∎EDPO = 64(3) = 192

    Thank you so much! My first attempt was almost the same as yours😅! Here is my 2nd approach: Let a and r be the side of the square and the radius of the circle respectively. We have: r= a. sqrt2 So tan angle CAB= OP/OA=a/r=1/(sqrt2) Note that the angle ACB= 90 degrees so, BC/AC=tan(CAB)=1/sqrt2 --> BC=16sqrt2 By using the Pythagorean theorem sqAC+sqBC=sqAB -> sq32+sq(16sqrt2)=sq(2r)=sq(2.a.sqrt2) --> 8 sqa=512+1024 Area= sq a=192 sq units
