Solution: Triangle FGP is congruent to Triangle CEP Therefore: GP = EP FG = CE FP = CP Like that, we conclude that Purple Area is half of Rectangle ABCD Area Purple Area = ½ Rectangle ABCD Area ... ¹ The Triangles AGF and CEP are similar, so we are going to use proportions EP/CE = FG/AG EP/a = a/b EP = a²/b Now, applying the Pythagorean Theorem in Triangle CEP CE² + EP² = CP² But CP = FP and FP = EF - EP CE² + EP² = FP² CE² + EP² = (EF - EP)² CE² + EP² = EF² - 2 EF . EP + EP² CE² = EF² - 2 EF . EP a² = b² - 2 . b . a²/b a² = b² - 2a² 3a² = b² b² = 3a² b = a√3 AG² + FG² = AF² b² + a² = AF² AF² = (a√3)² + a² AF² = 3a² + a² AF² = 4a² AF = 2a AB = AF + BF AB = 2a + a AB = 3a Substituting in ¹ Purple Area = ½ length × width Purple Area = ½ AB × BC Purple Area = ½ 3a × b Purple Area = 3ab/2 Square Units ✅
So we could continue the math: if purple area = 3ab/2, then dimensions of rectangle are b and 3a, so AF=2a. Then with the triangle, sides of a and b, hypotenuse of 2a, only works if b=a√3, which means it must be a 30-60-90 triangle.
AB = AF + FB = sqrt(a^2 + b^2) + a, so the big rectangle area is (sqrt(a^2 + b^2) + a).b and the purple shaded area is ((sqrt(a^2 + b^2) + a).b - (3/2).a.b This result is less "nice" than the result you found but it is immediate to obtain. Now let's see why these results are really the same: (sqrt(a^2 + b^2) + a).b -(3/2).a.b = (3/2).a.b is equivalent to sqrt(a^2 + b^2) + a = 3.a or sqrt(a^2 + b^2) = 2.a or a^2 + b^2 = 4.a^2 or b^2 = 3.a^2 or b = sqrt(3).a This is the condition other persons already found. The initial drawing must verify b = sqrt(3).a to be constructed. For example t = angleFCB must be equal to 30° (tan(t) = a/b = sqrt(3)/3).
When you knew that purple area is 1/2 of area of rectangle ABCD, you can calculate the area of the rectangle ABCD. How? AB is equal AF + FB. Lenght of FB is equal a, and lenght of AF you can calculate from right triangle AQF. When you use of Pythagorean theroem lenght of AF is equal sqrt of (a^2 + b^2). So lenght of AB is equal [sqrt (a^2 + b^2) + a]. When you multiply it by 1/2 of b you will have an area of purple figure.
1/ The two triangles FGP and CEP are congruent--> Area of the purple region= 1/2 area of the big rectangle. 2/ Note that AF= FC-> the triangle AFC is an isosceles one, which means that the three triangles AFG=CFG=CFB -> Area of the purple region= 3 ab/2😅😅😅
Let's find the area: . .. ... .... ..... First of all we observe that the triangles AFG and CEP are similar (∠AGF=∠CEP=90° ∧ ∠ECP=∠FAG). So we can conclude: EP/CE = FG/AG EP/a = a/b ⇒ EP = a²/b The triangles CEP and FGP are congruent (CE=FG=a ∧ ∠CEP=∠FGP=90° ∧ ∠CPE=∠FPG). Therefore we know that CP=FP. Now we apply the Pythagorean theorem to the right triangle CEP: CP² = CE² + EP² FP² = CE² + EP² (EF − EP)² = CE² + EP² EF² − 2*EF*EP + EP² = CE² + EP² EF² − 2*EF*EP = CE² b² − 2*b*(a²/b) = a² b² − 2a² = a² b² = 3a² ⇒ b = √3a Now we are able to calculate the area of the purple region: AF² = AQ² + FQ² = a² + b² = a² + 3a² = 4a² ⇒ AF = 2a A(purple) = A(ADEF) − A(AFG) = AF*AD − (1/2)*AG*FG = (2a)*b − (1/2)*b*a = 2ab − ab/2 = 3ab/2 = (3√3/2)a² Best regards from Germany
since area triangle PEC = area triangle PGF then answer is area triangle ADC its area is half height times base. since AD = BC then height is b since DC = AB then base is AF + FB FB is a and we can calculate AF using Pythagorean Theorem or (a^2+b^2)^(1/2) although my answer is more complicated it was derived faster and has fewer steps does it simplify to your answer?
You are correct, but this is indeed the same as 3ab/2 In right triangle AQF, we get *AF = √(a²+b²)* Using similar triangles ABC and FQA, we get (AF+a)/b = b/a → *AF = (b²−a²)/a* Solving both equations, we get b² = 3a² Substituting this into your solution, we get: Area = b (√(a²+b²) − a/2) = b (√(a²+3a²) − a/2) = b (2a − a/2) = b (3a/2) = 3ab/2
You're starting with the wrong premise. Answer is true, since it was solved correctly. Therefore, AQF *IS* a triangle with angles 30°- 60°- 90° Here's a different way to show it: In right △AQF, we get AF = √(a²+b²) Using similar triangles ABC and FQA, we get (AF+a)/b = b/a → AF = (b²−a²)/a Solving both equations, we get b² = 3a² AF = √(a²+b²) = √(a²+3a²) = 2a OR AF = (b²−a²)/a = (3a²−a²)/a = 2a In △AQF, AQ = a, QF = b = a√3, AF = 2a. Therefore △AQF is a 30°- 60°- 90° triangle.
The Solution herein presented is not complete. Why? Because, if Half of Rectangle [ABCD] Area is equal to 3ab/2. it means that the whole Area is equal to 3ab. What does it mean? That b = 2a!! That is Rectangle [ABCD] Area = 6a^2 Then the Purple Shaded Area can be given on only, as a Function of a : A(a) = 3a^2 And this is The Right Answer : Purple Shaded Area : A(a) = 3a^2 Square Units!!
@@MarieAnne. , What I am saying is that something is wrong in this Problem. I am not solving it. If the Solution is PSA = 3ab/2, wich means that Rectangle [ABCD] Area (RA) is equal to RA = 3ab.

But, as we can see AF^2 = (a^2 +b^2) ; AF = sqrt(a^2 + b^2) ; AB = sqrt(a^2 + b^2) + a Something is wrong Geometrically speaking with this Problem.

It's not possible to have a = 3 and b = 4.
Let AF = c. Then by Pythagorean Theorem, c² = a² + b²
But by similar triangles ABC and FQA, (c+a)/b = b/a → c = (b²−a²)/a

c = (b²−a²)/a = (3a²−a²)/a = 2a OR c² = a² + b² = a² + 3a² = 4a² → c = 2a

3a² = b²
b² = 3a²
b = a√3
AG² + FG² = AF²
b² + a² = AF²
AF² = (a√3)² + a²
AF² = 3a² + a²
AF² = 4a²
AF = 2a
AB = AF + BF
AB = 2a + a
AB = 3a
Substituting in ¹
Purple Area = ½ length × width
Purple Area = ½ AB × BC
Purple Area = ½ 3a × b
Purple Area = 3ab/2 Square Units ✅

So we could continue the math: if purple area = 3ab/2, then dimensions of rectangle are b and 3a, so AF=2a. Then with the triangle, sides of a and b, hypotenuse of 2a, only works if b=a√3, which means it must be a 30-60-90 triangle.
You are right, there are lots of 30° and 60° angles in the given drawing.
Thanks ❤️🙏

I believe the triangles are 30°, 60°, 90°. Therefor, the solution can be Area = (√(3)/2)*b².

AF=c
P(purple)=bc-ab/2=b(c-a/2)
Also
P=ADEP+X=ADC=b(c+a)/2
So
b(c-a/2)=b(c+a)/2
c-a/2=(c+a)/2
2c-a=c+a
c=2a
P=(c+a)b/2=3ab/2
Thanks ❤️🙏

AB = AF + FB = sqrt(a^2 + b^2) + a, so the big rectangle area is (sqrt(a^2 + b^2) + a).b and the purple shaded area is ((sqrt(a^2 + b^2) + a).b - (3/2).a.b
This result is less "nice" than the result you found but it is immediate to obtain.
Now let's see why these results are really the same: (sqrt(a^2 + b^2) + a).b -(3/2).a.b = (3/2).a.b is equivalent to sqrt(a^2 + b^2) + a = 3.a
or sqrt(a^2 + b^2) = 2.a or a^2 + b^2 = 4.a^2 or b^2 = 3.a^2 or b = sqrt(3).a This is the condition other persons already found. The initial drawing must
verify b = sqrt(3).a to be constructed. For example t = angleFCB must be equal to 30° (tan(t) = a/b = sqrt(3)/3).

When you knew that purple area is 1/2 of area of rectangle ABCD, you can calculate the area of the rectangle ABCD. How? AB is equal AF + FB. Lenght of FB is equal a, and lenght of AF you can calculate from right triangle AQF. When you use of Pythagorean theroem lenght of AF is equal sqrt of (a^2 + b^2). So lenght of AB is equal [sqrt (a^2 + b^2) + a]. When you multiply it by 1/2 of b you will have an area of purple figure.

∆AQF is Similar to ∆ADC. Hence [∆ADC]=(b/a)² *[∆AQF]=b³/2a

1/ The two triangles FGP and CEP are congruent--> Area of the purple region= 1/2 area of the big rectangle.
2/ Note that AF= FC-> the triangle AFC is an isosceles one, which means that the three triangles AFG=CFG=CFB
-> Area of the purple region= 3 ab/2😅😅😅
Thanks ❤️🙏

GP+PC=FP+PE=b
AC=2b
AD=b
Then DC=bsqrt3
Area = 1/2*b*bsqrt3

Let's find the area:

First of all we observe that the triangles AFG and CEP are similar (∠AGF=∠CEP=90° ∧ ∠ECP=∠FAG). So we can conclude:
EP/CE = FG/AG
EP/a = a/b
⇒ EP = a²/b
The triangles CEP and FGP are congruent (CE=FG=a ∧ ∠CEP=∠FGP=90° ∧ ∠CPE=∠FPG). Therefore we know that CP=FP. Now we apply the Pythagorean theorem to the right triangle CEP:
CP² = CE² + EP²
FP² = CE² + EP²
(EF − EP)² = CE² + EP²
EF² − 2*EF*EP + EP² = CE² + EP²
EF² − 2*EF*EP = CE²
b² − 2*b*(a²/b) = a²
b² − 2a² = a²
b² = 3a²
⇒ b = √3a
Now we are able to calculate the area of the purple region:
AF² = AQ² + FQ² = a² + b² = a² + 3a² = 4a² ⇒ AF = 2a
A(purple) = A(ADEF) − A(AFG) = AF*AD − (1/2)*AG*FG = (2a)*b − (1/2)*b*a = 2ab − ab/2 = 3ab/2 = (3√3/2)a²

FOOLISH
since area triangle PEC = area triangle PGF then answer is area triangle ADC
its area is half height times base.
since AD = BC then height is b
since DC = AB then base is AF + FB
FB is a and we can calculate AF using Pythagorean Theorem or (a^2+b^2)^(1/2)
although my answer is more complicated it was derived faster and has fewer steps
does it simplify to your answer?
Thanks ❤️🙏

@@PreMath And to you as well
area AQFG- 1/2 ab is the answer, AQFG area =( root of a square + b square( Pythagorus))Xb, answer is b( root {a square+ b square}-1/2 a}?
Thanks ❤️🙏

You are correct, but this is indeed the same as 3ab/2
In right triangle AQF, we get *AF = √(a²+b²)*
Using similar triangles ABC and FQA, we get (AF+a)/b = b/a → *AF = (b²−a²)/a*
Solving both equations, we get b² = 3a²
Substituting this into your solution, we get:
Area = b (√(a²+b²) − a/2) = b (√(a²+3a²) − a/2) = b (2a − a/2) = b (3a/2) = 3ab/2
That is only true if the triangle AQF is a triangle with angles 30°- 60°- 90°
Thanks ❤️🙏
Have a happy, safe, and prosperous New Year!
You're starting with the wrong premise. Answer is true, since it was solved correctly.
Therefore, AQF *IS* a triangle with angles 30°- 60°- 90°
Here's a different way to show it:
In right △AQF, we get AF = √(a²+b²)
Using similar triangles ABC and FQA, we get (AF+a)/b = b/a → AF = (b²−a²)/a
Solving both equations, we get b² = 3a²
AF = √(a²+b²) = √(a²+3a²) = 2a OR AF = (b²−a²)/a = (3a²−a²)/a = 2a
In △AQF, AQ = a, QF = b = a√3, AF = 2a. Therefore △AQF is a 30°- 60°- 90° triangle.
The Solution herein presented is not complete. Why?
Because, if Half of Rectangle [ABCD] Area is equal to 3ab/2. it means that the whole Area is equal to 3ab. What does it mean? That b = 2a!! That is Rectangle [ABCD] Area = 6a^2
Then the Purple Shaded Area can be given on only, as a Function of a : A(a) = 3a^2
And this is The Right Answer : Purple Shaded Area : A(a) = 3a^2 Square Units!!
checked for a=3 b=4 answer is 14
@@sukumaranpm9192 , the whole Area [ABC] is not 3ab, in fact is A = (3a) * b. Wich means that Length AB = 3a, because BC = b and AF = 2a. Thanks!
Thanks ❤️🙏

@@LuisdeBritoCamacho b = a√3 (not 2a). AF = 2a
@@MarieAnne. , What I am saying is that something is wrong in this Problem. I am not solving it.
If the Solution is PSA = 3ab/2, wich means that Rectangle [ABCD] Area (RA) is equal to RA = 3ab. Tgis means geometrically 3 Rectangles of Side a and b.
But, as we can see AF^2 = (a^2 +b^2) ; AF = sqrt(a^2 + b^2) ; AB = sqrt(a^2 + b^2) + a
Something is wrong Geometrically speaking with this Problem. I can be solved Algebraically but has no conection, whatsover, with Geometry.
