Problem C. 1197. (December 2013)

C. 1197. Point E lies on side AD of a square ABCD of area 64 units. Point F lies on the extension of side AB beyond vertex B. These two points and vertex C form an isosceles right-angled triangle of area 50 units. What is the area of triangle AFE?

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

Megoldás. A négyzet oldala 8 egység. Mivel \(\displaystyle ECF\) területe 50, így \(\displaystyle EC\cdot FC=100\). Mivel a két tényező egyenlő, ezért \(\displaystyle EC = FC = 10\). Pitagorasz-tétellel \(\displaystyle ED = 6\), vagyis \(\displaystyle EA = 2\). A megadott derékszögek miatt \(\displaystyle DCE\angle=BCF\angle\), így a \(\displaystyle DCE\) háromszög és a \(\displaystyle BCF\) háromszög egybevágó. Ezért \(\displaystyle BF = 6\). Az \(\displaystyle AFE\) háromszög derékszögű, befogóinak hossza: \(\displaystyle EA = 2\), \(\displaystyle AF = AB + BF = 14\), így a területe 14.
