In the third step, instead of considering the similar triangles, extend OP to become a diameter of the circle and then use the intersecting chords theorem: (32 - a√3)a√3 = (a√2 + a)(a√2 - a) = a² => a = 8√3
Recognizing that AO is the same as the diagonal of the square, that is, both are radii, I took that arctan of PAO as a/(a*2^.5) which was 1/2^5. That angle was 35.26438... So the cosine of this angle is 32 divided by 2*a*2^.5 (which is the diameter). Solve for a which is 13.85640646... Then square that number to equal 192.
Brilliant use of Similar triangles 📐 in the end. Can we know the name of the app/software with which you are writing ✍️ electronically on the computer screen?
Can't believe I actually solved it, I even used almost exactly the same method, only difference is I didn't substitute "a" after each use, I made new variables and represented them in equations one by one

Let's find the area: . .. ... .... ..... Since OEDP is a square, all interior angles are right angles. Therefore the triangle ODE is a right triangle and we can apply the Pythagorean theorem. With r being the radius of the semicircle and s being the side length of the square we obtain: OD² = OE² + DE² r² = s² + s² = 2*s² According to Thales theorem the triangle ABC is a right triangle. The triangle OAP is also a right triangle. Now let's have a look at the interior angles of these two triangles: ∠AOP = ∠ACB = 90° ∠OAP = ∠BAC = α ∠APO = ∠ABC = β So these two triangles are similar and we can conclude: AO/AP = AC/AB r/AP = 32/(2*r) r/AP = 16/r AP/r = r/16 ⇒ AP = r²/16 Now we can apply the Pythagorean theorem to the right triangle OAP in order to obtain the area of the square: AP² = AO² + OP² (r²/16)² = r² + s² (2*s²/16)² = 2*s² + s² (s²/8)² = 3*s² s⁴/64 = 3*s² Since s=0 is not a useful solution, the only useful solution is: A(square) = s² = 3*64 = 192 Best regards from Germany
Diagonal of the square = radius of circle =a√2 AP =√[ (a√2)^2 +a^2]=a√3 DP is extended to T to get a chord. Now intersecting chord theorem states that DP *PT =AP *PC -- (1) (DP =PT =a) AP=a√3 PC= 32 - a√3 Now from equation No. 1 we get a^2= a √3(32 - a√3) > 4a^2=32a√3 > 4a =32√3 > a=8√3 a^2=(8√3)^2=64*3=192 Area of square = 192 sq units Comment please
Thank you so much! My first attempt was almost the same as yours😅! Here is my 2nd approach: Let a and r be the side of the square and the radius of the circle respectively. We have: r= a. sqrt2 So tan angle CAB= OP/OA=a/r=1/(sqrt2) Note that the angle ACB= 90 degrees so, BC/AC=tan(CAB)=1/sqrt2 --> BC=16sqrt2 By using the Pythagorean theorem sqAC+sqBC=sqAB -> sq32+sq(16sqrt2)=sq(2r)=sq(2.a.sqrt2) --> 8 sqa=512+1024 Area= sq a=192 sq units
3rd alternative solution: 1/ Just assume that a=1 so r= sqrt2 and AP= sqrt3 and area of blue square= 1 2/ The quadrilateral PCBO is cyclic so, APxAC=AOxAB-->ACxsqrt3=sqrt2x2sqrt2=4--> AC=4/sqrt3 Now if AC = 32, the area of the blue square = 1x sq((32/(4/sqrt3))=64x3= 192 sq units😊
One more solution: 1. Let a= OP=PD; x=AP; PC = 32-x; 2. Let us extend DP to the left to intersect with the circle at point N => PN = PD = a; 3. PN*PD = x*(32-x) => a^2 = x*(32-x); (1) 4. x^2 = r^2 + a^2; (2) 5. r^2 = 2*a^2; (3) 6. system of equations {(1),(2),(3)} 7. let us put (3) into (2): x^2 = 3*a^2 => x = a*sqrt(3); (4) 8. Let us put (4) into (1): a^2=a*sqrt(3)*(32-a*sqrt(3)); as a!=0 lets devide both sides by a a = 32*sqrt(3) - 3*a; 4a = 32*sqrt(3); a= 8*sqrt(3); Ablue = a^2 = (8*sqrt(3))^2 = 64*3 = 192 sq units.
Let the radius of semicircle O be r and the side length of square OPDE be s. Draw radius OD. As OD is also the diagonal of square OPDE, this gives us a direct relationship between s and r via Pythagoras: Triangle ∆OPD: OP² + PD² = OD² s² + s² = r² 2s² = r² s² = r²/2 s = √(r²/2) = r/√2 --- [1] r = √2s --- [2] Draw CB. By Thales' Theorem, as A and B are opposite ends of a diameter and C is a point on the circumference, then ∠BCA = 90°. As ∠AOP = 90° as well, and ∠PAO is common, triangles ∆AOP and ∆BCA are similar. Triangle ∆BCA: BC/CA = OP/OA BC/32 = s/r = (r/√2)/r --- [1] BC = 32/√2 = 16√2 BC² + CA² = AB² (16√2)² + 32² = (2r)² = (2(√2s))² --- [2] 8s² = 512 + 1024 = 1536 s² = 1536/8 = 192 sq units
OBDP is a square So OB=BD=DP=PO=x And OD is Radius of semicircle =x√2 ∆ AOP~ ∆ ACB x/x√2=BC/32 1/√2=BC/32 So BC=16√2 In ∆ ABC (16√2)^2+(32)^2=(2x√2)^2 So x=8√3 Blue square area =(8√3)^2=192 square units.❤❤❤

Be R the radius of the circle and t = angleBAC
In triangle AOB: OP = R/sqrt(2) and AO = R
Then AP^2 = OP^2 +AO^2 = (R^2)/2 + R^2
= (3/2).R^2 and AP = sqrt(3/2).R
Then cos(t) = AO/AP = R/(sqrt(3/2).R)
=sqrt(2/3)
In triangle ABC: cos(t) = AC/AB,
so: sqrt(2/3) = 32/(2.R) and R = 16.sqrt(3/2)
The area of the square is (R/sqrt(2))^2
=(R^2)/2 = (256.(3/2))/2 = 64.3 = 192

Let's find the area:
.
..
...
....
.....
Since OEDP is a square, all interior angles are right angles. Therefore the triangle ODE is a right triangle and we can apply the Pythagorean theorem. With r being the radius of the semicircle and s being the side length of the square we obtain:
OD² = OE² + DE²
r² = s² + s² = 2*s²
According to Thales theorem the triangle ABC is a right triangle. The triangle OAP is also a right triangle. Now let's have a look at the interior angles of these two triangles:
∠AOP = ∠ACB = 90°
∠OAP = ∠BAC = α
∠APO = ∠ABC = β
So these two triangles are similar and we can conclude:
AO/AP = AC/AB
r/AP = 32/(2*r)
r/AP = 16/r
AP/r = r/16
⇒ AP = r²/16
Now we can apply the Pythagorean theorem to the right triangle OAP in order to obtain the area of the square:
AP² = AO² + OP²
(r²/16)² = r² + s²
(2*s²/16)² = 2*s² + s²
(s²/8)² = 3*s²
s⁴/64 = 3*s²
Since s=0 is not a useful solution, the only useful solution is:
A(square) = s² = 3*64 = 192

Diagonal of the square = radius of circle =a√2
AP =√[ (a√2)^2 +a^2]=a√3
DP is extended to T to get a chord.
Now intersecting chord theorem states that
DP *PT =AP *PC -- (1)
(DP =PT =a)
AP=a√3
PC= 32 - a√3
Now from equation No. 1 we get
a^2= a √3(32 - a√3)
> 4a^2=32a√3
> 4a =32√3
> a=8√3
a^2=(8√3)^2=64*3=192
Area of square = 192 sq units

Here is my 2nd approach:
Let a and r be the side of the square and the radius of the circle respectively.
We have: r= a. sqrt2
So tan angle CAB= OP/OA=a/r=1/(sqrt2)
Note that the angle ACB= 90 degrees so, BC/AC=tan(CAB)=1/sqrt2
--> BC=16sqrt2
By using the Pythagorean theorem
sqAC+sqBC=sqAB

--> 8 sqa=512+1024

3rd alternative solution:
1/ Just assume that a=1 so r= sqrt2 and AP= sqrt3 and area of blue square= 1
2/ The quadrilateral PCBO is cyclic so,
APxAC=AOxAB-->ACxsqrt3=sqrt2x2sqrt2=4--> AC=4/sqrt3

One more solution:
1. Let a= OP=PD; x=AP; PC = 32-x;
2. Let us extend DP to the left to intersect with the circle at point N => PN = PD = a;
3. PN*PD = x*(32-x) => a^2 = x*(32-x); (1)
4. x^2 = r^2 + a^2; (2)
5. r^2 = 2*a^2; (3)
6. system of equations {(1),(2),(3)}
7. let us put (3) into (2): x^2 = 3*a^2 => x = a*sqrt(3); (4)
8. Let us put (4) into (1):
a^2=a*sqrt(3)*(32-a*sqrt(3));
as a!=0 lets devide both sides by a
a = 32*sqrt(3) - 3*a;
4a = 32*sqrt(3);
a= 8*sqrt(3);
Ablue = a^2 = (8*sqrt(3))^2 = 64*3 = 192 sq units.

Let the radius of semicircle O be r and the side length of square OPDE be s. Draw radius OD. As OD is also the diagonal of square OPDE, this gives us a direct relationship between s and r via Pythagoras:
Triangle ∆OPD:
OP² + PD² = OD²
s² + s² = r²
2s² = r²
s² = r²/2
s = √(r²/2) = r/√2 --- [1]
r = √2s --- [2]
Draw CB. By Thales' Theorem, as A and B are opposite ends of a diameter and C is a point on the circumference, then ∠BCA = 90°. As ∠AOP = 90° as well, and ∠PAO is common, triangles ∆AOP and ∆BCA are similar.
Triangle ∆BCA:
BC/CA = OP/OA
BC/32 = s/r = (r/√2)/r --- [1]
BC = 32/√2 = 16√2
BC² + CA² = AB²
(16√2)² + 32² = (2r)² = (2(√2s))² --- [2]
8s² = 512 + 1024 = 1536
s² = 1536/8 = 192 sq units

OBDP is a square
So OB=BD=DP=PO=x
And OD is Radius of semicircle =x√2
∆ AOP~ ∆ ACB
x/x√2=BC/32
1/√2=BC/32
So BC=16√2
In ∆ ABC
(16√2)^2+(32)^2=(2x√2)^2
So x=8√3

My way of solution ▶
Since this is a semicircle, if we consider the triangle ΔABC, then ∠ BCA= 90°
OE=ED=DP=PO= a
AD= r
⇒
a√2= r
a= √2 r/2
ΔABC ~ ΔAPO
AP= x
OP= a
OP= √2 r/2
BC= y
CA= 32
⇒
OP/BC= AO/CA= PA/AB
a/y= x/2r= r/32
⇒
√2 r/2 / y= r/32
y= 16√2
BC= 16√2
BC²+CA²= AB²
BC= 16√2
CA= 32
AB= 2r
⇒
(16√2)²+32²= (2r)²
256*2+1024= 4r²
1536= 4r²
r²= 384
Ablue= a²
= (√2 r/2)²
= 2r²/4
= r²/2
Ablue= 384/2
Ablue= 192 square units

16) Blue Square Area = X^2
18) X^2 = 64*6 / 2 ; X^2 = 384 / 2 ; X^2 = 192
ANSWER : The Blue Square Area equal to 192 Square Units.
