    I don't follow using the trapezium, since once you have AD = 25/4, and height ADC is 5, surely the area of ADC is 1/2x25/4x5 = 125/8.

    Like the professor I (1) determined the lengths of missing sides of triangle ABC to be 5 and 10 and (2) determined that ACD is an isosceles triangle. I dropped a perpendicular to AC from D at E on AC. Resulting triangle DEC is similar to ABC. I used proportions of the two similar triangles to determine length of DE, i.e. height of triangle ADC, to be (5*SQRT(5))/4. So Area of yellow = 1/2 (5*SQRT(5)) * (5*SQRT(5)/4) = 125/8.

    For the blue triangle, a^2 + b^2 = 125, so the most reasonable assumption is that a and b are 5 and 10. tan(-1)(1/2) is 26.6 deg. Draw a line vertically up frpm C. then across to D. The top right vertex is E and AEC is 25cm^2. Yellow area is AEC - DEC. Angles at C total 53.2 deg, so

    In the last step, there no need to calculate the trapezium's area. You know the base and height of the triangle : base=25/4, height=5 area = base * height / 2 = 25/4 * 5 / 2 = 125/8 But it is a nice exercise

    Another way to compute a (length BC) and b (length AB): Construct 4 triangles congruent to ABC and assemble them into a square with sides of length AC or 5√5. The square's area is (5√5)(5√5) = 125. Each triangle has area 25, given, so 4 have area 100 and the area of the small square in the middle is 25. Therefore, its sides have length √(25) = 5. Note that the figure implies that a is greater than b. So, a - b = 5. However, from area formula for a triangle, (1/2)ab = 25 or ab = 50. Substitute b = a - 5 and solve: a(a - 5) = 50, finding a = 10 and, from b = a - 5, b = 5. Skip ahead to about 7:20. At about 10:46, we find x (length AD) = 25/4. Let AD be the base of yellow triangle ACD, then its height is 5 and area = (1/2)(25/4)(5) = 125/8, as PreMath found at 12:16.

    Once you found the "x" value (the two equal sides of the isosceles triangle), it's actually easier to find that triangle's area by ignoring the trapezoid area. A triangle area is h*b/2. In this case, h = 5 and b = x (which you found was 25/4). 5 * (25/4) / 2 = 125/8 or 15.625.

    Different method using trigonometry: 1)Follow steps as yours till finding out sides AB and BC 2) extend AD to point E to make a rectangle ABCE, hence AC is the diagonal and area of triangle ACE= triangle ABC= 25 cm^2. 3) draw a perpendicular from point D to line BC, and let the meeting point be P. 4) AB/ BC = tan Theta = 5/10 = 1/2 5) Consider triangle DPC, DP/PC = tan 2 Theta = 2 tan Theta/(1- tan^2 theta) = 2*( 1/2) / 1- (1/4) = 4/3 Hence DP/PC = 4/3; DP= AB =5 ie 5/PC = 4/3 therefore PC = 15/4 6)Area of triangle DPC = 1/2 * DP *PC = 0.5* 5*15/4 = 75/8 cm^2 7) area of triangle DPC = area of triangle DCE ( congruent triangles) 75/8 cm^2 8) area of yellow shaded region (ADC) = (AREA of triangle ACE - AREA of triangle DCE) = 25- (75/8) = 15.625 cm^2 Thank you 😊

    Another solution when BA = 5 and BC = 10 are known: The triangle ADC is isosceles (easy), so its area is (1/2).AC.DP with P the orthogonal projection of D on (AC) DP = AP.tan(t) = (1/2).AC.tan(t), so the area of the yellow triangle is (1/4).(AC^2).tan(t) tan(t) = 5/10 = 1/2 (in triangle ABC) The yellow area is(1/4).((5.sqrt(5))^2).(1/2) = (1/4).(125).(1/2) = 125/8.

    Call AB=y, BC=x From area xy=50 from hypotenuse x^2+y^2=125. =100+25 Guess y=5,x=10. So use the 2:1 radio in the yellow triangle Vert height =b/4, area = b^2/8 But b^2=125 So area=125/8

    Equation (4) has 2 forms: (a - b) = 5 or (a - b) = - 5. (a is BC, b is AC as in your solution) This leads to 2 sets of a, b values.1st set is a = 10, b = 5 (as in your solution). 2nd set is a = 5, b = 10. The second set is rejected by 2 arctan 10/5 = 126.87 which is an obtuse angle. With that problem settled, tan(theta) = b/a = 1/2. Triangle ADC is isosceles triangle as angle CAD = theta (corresponding angle with angle BCA) = angle ACD. Height of isosceles triangle ADC bisects AC. Hence height = [(5sqrt5)/2] tan(theta) = [5(sqrt5)]/4. Area of yellow triangle = (1/2)(5sqrt5)[5(sqrt5)](1/4) = 125/8

    Alternative solution: 1/Drop the height BH to AC, we have: 1/2 BHxAC= 25-> 1/2 BHx5sqrt5=25-> BH=2sqrt5 2/ From D drop AM perpendicular to AC intersecting BC at D’. We have ADCD’ is a diamond so AD=DC=CD’=D’A and BM=AM=CM Focus on the triangle BHM sq HM=sqBM-sqBH=sq(5sqrt5/2)-sq(2sqrt5) --> HM=3sqrt5/2 --> CH=HM+CM=4sqrt 5 By using triangle similarity: MD’/BH=CM/CH-- > MD’=5sqrt5/4 Because DM=MD’ So area of the yellow triangle= 1/2 x 5sqrt5/4 x 5 sqrt5= 125/8 sq cm 😅

    If b*h=50, then b=50/h. Now you have a quadratic, (50/h)^2+H^2-125=0. h is then 5, and take it from there by getting the arctan of theta = 26.565.... which doubled is 53.130... So 5/tan(53.130...) = 3.75. So base of yellow triangle is 6.25 (10-3.75) times height of 5 divided by 2 is 15.625.

    Let's find the area: . .. ... .... ..... The blue triangle is a right triangle. Therefore we can conclude: AB² + BC² = AC² A(ABC) = (1/2)*AB*BC (AB ± BC)² = AB² ± 2*AB*BC + BC² = AC² ± 2*AB*BC = AC² ± 4*(1/2)*AB*BC = AC² ± 4*A(ABC) ⇒ AB ± BC = √[AC² ± 4*A(ABC)] AB + BC = √[AC² + 4*A(ABC)] = √[(5√5cm)² + 4*25cm²] = √(125cm² + 100cm²) = √(225cm²) = 15cm AB − BC = √[AC² − 4*A(ABC)] = √[(5√5cm)² − 4*25cm²] = √(125cm² − 100cm²) = √(25cm²) = 5cm These two equations lead to AB=10cm and BC=5cm. Of course AB=5cm and BC=10cm is also a valid solution for the original set of equations. Now let's handle these two solutions. For that purpose we add point E on BC such that ABED is a rectangle. In this case the triangle CDE is a right triangle and we obtain: DE/CE = tan(2θ) = 2tan(θ)/[1 − tan²(θ)] = 2(AB/BC)/[1 − (AB/BC)²] Case 1 (AB=10cm and BC=5cm): DE/CE = 2*2/(1 − 2²) = −4/3 Case 2 (AB=5cm and BC=10cm): DE/CE = 2*(1/2)/(1 − (1/2)²) = 4/3 In the first case we have 2θ>90°. So this is not a useful solution and we can focus on the second case (AB=5cm and BC=10cm): DE/CE = 4/3 AB/CE = 4/3 ⇒ CE = (3/4)*AB = (3/4)*(5cm) = (15/4)cm ⇒ AD = BE = BC − CE = 10cm − (15/4)cm = (40/4)cm − (15/4)cm = (25/4)cm Now we are able to calculate the area of the yellow triangle: A(ACD) = (1/2)*AD*h(AD) = (1/2)*AD*DE = (1/2)*AD*AB = (1/2)*[(25/4)cm]*(5cm) = (125/8)cm² Best regards from Germany

    STEP-BY-STEP RESOLUTION PROPOSAL : 01) BC = X 02) AB = Y 03) AC = Z = 5*sqrt(5) 04) Z^2 = 125 05) X * Y = 50 06) X^2 + Y^2 = 125 07) Solutions : X = 10 and X = 5 or X = 5 and Y = 10. Let's choose BC = X = 10 and AB = Y = 5. 08) tan(teta) = 5/10 ; tan(teta) = 1/2. 09) Define a Point between Point B and Point C, wich the Vertical Line (Orthogonal Projection) passing through Point D. Define Point E. 10) tan(2*teta) = 2*tan(teta) / (1 - tan^2(teta)) 11) tan(2*teta) = 1 / (1 - 1/4) ; tan(2*teta) = 1 / (3/4) ; tan(2*teta) = 4/3 12) tan(2*teta) = DE / CE 13) 4 / 3 = 5 / CE 14) CE = 15 / 4 ; CE = 3,75 15) Yellow Area = (AD * AB) / 2 16) AD = BE = 10 - 3,75 = 6,25 17) Yellow Area = (AD * AB) / 2 ; Yellow Area = (6,25 * 5) / 2 ; Yellow Area = 31,25 / 2 ; Yellow Area = 15,625 sq un So, our ANSWER is : The Yellow Shaded Area equals 15,625 Square Units.

    The diagram does not specify that AD is parallel to BC. You call it a trapezoid but this is not indicated in the diagram.

    Angles ABC and BAD are indicated as right angles on the diagram.

    Co interior angles add up to 180° and 90°+90° add up to 180°. Therefore the lines are still parallel.
