Problem K. 691. (March 2021)

K. 691. \(\displaystyle ABCDEFGH\) is a regular octagon and its sides are 2 units long. Squares \(\displaystyle BCIM\) and \(\displaystyle FGKL\) are drawn on sides \(\displaystyle BC\) and \(\displaystyle GF\), on the inside. What is the area of the rectangle bounded by lines \(\displaystyle AH\), \(\displaystyle KL\), \(\displaystyle ED\) and \(\displaystyle IM\)?

Sorry, the solution is available only in Hungarian. Google translation

Megoldás: Állítsunk merőlegest \(\displaystyle D\)-ből \(\displaystyle CI\)-re. \(\displaystyle DCD'\angle 45^{\circ}\) . Így a Pitagorasz-tétel miatt \(\displaystyle DD' = D'C = \sqrt 2 \). A \(\displaystyle PQRS\) téglalap \(\displaystyle QR\) oldalának hossza \(\displaystyle 2\sqrt 2 +2\).

\(\displaystyle ID' = 2-\sqrt 2 \). \(\displaystyle SR = 2-2RD = 2-2(2-\sqrt 2 ) = 2\sqrt 2-2\).

A \(\displaystyle PQRS\) téglalap területe: \(\displaystyle (2\sqrt 2 +2)(2\sqrt 2 -2)=8-4=4\).
