    Using trigonometry and my calculator I arrive at 22.627 square units for the area. via cos(4/12) you get the angle at the origin one of the circles (B) of the right triangle BQE, which via sin leads to the length of the opposite (QE), which via tan (r/QE) leads to the angle at E, which via tan (FC/CE) leads to FC, which is the height of one blue triangle.

    I prefer the use of trigonometric functions to solve this problem. Working in construction related engineering my entire career, I needed answers in terms of US standard units to an acceptable degree of accuracy. My boss would never accept an answer in terms of square roots. Therefore, I used trigonometric functions to determine the lengths of triangle sides. I kept the decima places out as far as they were displayed on my calculator until I got to my final answer. Only then did I round off to the required degree of accuracy for what I was trying to determine.

    Another approach could be as follows. Prolong DP beyond P and CF beyond F and let M be the intersection of these two lines. Right riangle MCD is equal to right triangle APD because CD = PD and PDC is a common angle. So MD=AD=12; AP=MC=√AD²-PD²=8√2. Triangles MCD and MFP are similar with similarity ratio r=MP:AP=8/(8√2)=√2/2. FP=CD·r=4·√2/2=2√2. FC=FP=2√2 --> Area=(1/2)AE·FC=(1/2)·4·4·2√2=16√2.

    Another approach could be as follows. Prolong EQ beyond Q and draw the parallel to BQ passing through A and let G be the intersection of these two straight lines. Triangles AGE and BQE are similiar with a ratio AE:BE=4/3. As a consequence AG=(4/3)BQ=16/3. QE^2²=BE²-QB²=12²-4²=4²(3²-1)=4²(3-1)(3+1)=2·4³=2·2⁶ so QE=√2·2³=8√2. GE:QE=AG:BQ --> GE=8√2·(16/3)/4=(32/3)√2. FE is the hypotenuse of the right triangle FCE, similar to the right triangle AGE having the angle at E in common. Their ratio is CE:GE=FE:AE --> FE=CE·AE/GE=8·16/((32/3)√2)=4·3/√2=12/√2. The area of the blue area is (1/2)FE·AG=(1/2)(12/√2)·(16/3)=32/√2=16√2.

Much better specifying some unit in some international standard system, than nothing, like some teachers wrongly use to say, for example "units" or "square units" where not even is given if is length units or what (could be weight unit, mass unit, angle unit, etc) See in this video, teacher says "degrees" and never says "angle units or units". Same thing has to be done with length units Always is better to specify some length unit or surface unit !!!!

    Καλημέρα σας. Ωραίο, απλό σχολικό πρόβλημα. Και η δική μου λύση είναι ίδια με την δική σας. Έχω όμως μία ένσταση. Όταν λέτε ότι "FC κάθετη στην ακτίνα CD ως εφαπτομένη" αν κατάλαβα καλά δεν το δικαιολογήσατε. Από πουθενά δεν προκύπτει προφανώς αυτό. Εγώ, σύγκρινα και απέδειξα ότι τα ορθογώνια τρίγωνα APD, BQE είναι ίσα. Άρα οι γωνίες Α, Ε είναι ίσες, άρα το τρίγωνο AFE είναι ισοσκελές και επειδή FC διάμεσός του προς τη βάση, θα είναι και ύψος (και διχοτόμος) του. Άρα... Ευχαριστώ.

  • @AnonimityAssured

    I think there may be two quick ways of doing this. Spoiler alert. The most direct way is to construct a right triangle, BQE. The area of this right triangle will be the same as the blue area. By Pythagoras: BE² − BQ² = EQ²; 12² − 4² = EQ²; EQ² = 144 − 16 = 128; EQ = √128 = 8√2. Area of triangle = (BQ ∙ EQ) / 2 = (4 ∙ 8√2) / 2 = 16√2 square units. A slightly less direct way is to begin with triangle BQE, calculate EQ as before, and then observe that triangles FCA and FCE are similar to triangle BQE and congruent to each other, so that the blue area is the same as that of a rectangle with sides FC and AC. BQ = 4; EQ = 8√2; AC = 8. FC / AC = BQ / EQ; FC = AC ∙ BQ / EQ; FC = 8 ∙ 4 / (8√2); FC = 4 / √2 = 4√2 / 2 = 2√2. Blue area = FC ∙ AC = 8 ∙ 2√2 = 16√2 square units.

    ​@@ashieshsharmah1326 Ah, I wish I could. Alas, I'm no mathematician; I'm just observant. Perhaps someone here can provide a proof. Sorry to disappoint you. Actually, I _can_ prove it, although I can't provide any explanation of _why_ it is true. Let's prove it for the general case, for two touching circles with radius r, keeping the same labels for indicated points. Line segment BQ is a radius. Line segment QE is a tangent, where Q is the point of tangency. By the Circle Theorem, the two line segments are mutually perpendicular. Therefore, triangle BQE is a right triangle. By examination, the hypotenuse of that triangle has length 3r and its shortest side has length r. By the Pythagorean Theorem: (BQ)² + (QE)² = (BE)² (QE)² = (BE)² − (BQ)² (BQ)² + (QE)² = (BE)² (QE)² = (3 ∙ r)² − r² (QE)² = 8 ∙ r² QE = √(8 ∙ r²) = √8 ∙ r = 2 ∙ √2 ∙ r Area, A₁, of triangle: A₁ = BQ ∙ QE / 2 = r ∙ 2 ∙ √2 ∙ r / 2 = √2 ∙ r² By symmetry, the blue area is twice the area of triangle FCA. By similar triangles, length of FC = length of QP times length of BQ divided by length of QE: FC = QP ∙ CA / QE FC = 2 ∙ r ∙ r ∙ / (2√2 ∙ r) = r / √2. (Rationalizing the denominator is not necessary at this point.) Blue area, A₂: A₂ = FC ∙ CA = (r / √2) ∙ 2r = (2 ∙ √2) ∙ r² = √2 ∙ r² Hence, A₁ = A₂. Q.E.D.

Also FD=FB=2*sqrt6. ****(d) Calculate QP . Try to solve. ANSWER 16/3.
