Another solution! If you extend the line DE, then name it point F, you can get the angle BEF, angle BEF is equivalent to angle DEC since they are alternate angle. To get angle BEF, you first need to get angle AEB. Then you can now get the length of EC.
As phungpham1725 did, I dropped a perpendicular from D to AE, let's call the intersection F. From the Pythagorean theorem, after finding that BE = 4 (2:24 in the video), AE has length 4√10. We note that
1/ EB= 4cm so AE= 4sqrt10 2/ From D drop the height DH to AE. The angle ADH=angle EAB ( the sides are perpendicular) so the two triangles ADH and EAB are similar. Label DH= h-> h/AH=AB/AE=12/4=3 Notice that the triangle DHE is an right isosceles so h= HE-> AH/1= HE/3=(AH+HE)/4=4sqrt10/4 -> h=3sqrt10 and AH=sqrt10 12:47 -> DA =sqrt(sqh+sqAH)=sqrt100=10 -> EC=6-> Area of the blue triangle=36 sq cm
An out of the way formula is useful for this one: For two angles that add to 45 degrees (e.g. EAB and CDA), if tan A=a/b then tan D=(b-a)/(b+a). Here a=4 and b=12. So tan D=1/2 and x=6. Here are a couple nice proofs of the formula; ruclips.net/video/TrgQJM1Xkf8/видео.html I love my exciting daily puzzle, Thanks PreMath!
Let BE=x Area of the triangle ABE=24cm^2 1/2(12)(x)=24 so x=4cm Tan(AEB)=12/4=3 So LAEB=71.57° LCED=180-(45+71.57°)=63.43° Tan(63.43°)=12/CE So CE=6cm Area of the Blue triangle=1/2(12)(6)=36cm^2.❤❤❤
this can be solved in an easier way than the method here. finding angle AEB =71. then get angle DEC, s 180-45-71. then use tan =Opposite over adjacent then you get x easily and find the blue area
EB = 48/12 = 4. Let t = angleAEB, In triangle ABE: tan(t) = AB/AB = 12/4 = 3 Let u = angleDEC, We have t + u + 45° = 180°, so u = 135° -t and tan(u) = tan(135° -t) tan(u) = (tan(135°) - tan(t))/(1 + tan(135°).tan(t)) = (-1 -3)/(1+ (-1).(3)) =-4/-2 = 2 In triangle DEC: tan(u) = 2 = DE/EC = 12/EC, sonEC =6 Finally the area of the blue triangle is (1/2).12.6 = 36.

ABCD is a rectangle. By the Parallelogram Opposite Sides Theorem, AB = 12. A = (bh)/2 24 = (12 * h)/2 6h = 24 h = 4 So, BE = 4 cm. Label CE = x. Then BC = x + 4 cm. Draw an altitude of △AED from E to a point F on base AD. This divides rectangle ABCD into two smaller rectangles with a pair of congruent triangles each. Because △ABE ≅ △AFE, the area of △AFE is 24 cm². A = (bh)/2 = (12 * x)/2 = 6x Because △DCE ≅ △DFE, the area of △DFE is 6x cm². △AFE & △DFE combine to form △AED. So, the area of △AED is 6x + 24 cm². But then we can also find the area of △AED by using the side-sine area formula. Find AE & DE. Use the Pythagorean Theorem. a² + b² = c² 12² + 4² = (AE)² (AE)² = 144 + 16 = 160 AE = √160 = (√16)(√10) = 4√10 12² + x² = (DE)² (DE)² = x² + 144 DE = √(x² + 144) A = 1/2 * a * b * sinC = 1/2 * 4√10 * √(x² + 144) * sin(45°) = 2√10 * √(x² + 144) * sin(45°) = √40 * √(x² + 144) * sin(45°) = √[40 * (x² + 144)] * sin(45°) = √(40x² + 5760) * sin(45°) = √(40x² + 5760) * [(√2)/2] 2A = √(40x² + 5760) * √2 2(6x + 24) = √(40x² + 5760) * √2 12x + 48 = √[2 * (40x² + 5760)] = √(80x² + 11520) (12x + 48)² = [√(80x² + 11520)]² 144x² + 1152x + 2304 = 80x² + 11520 64x² + 1152x + 2304 = 11520 64x² + 1152x - 9216 = 0 x² + 18x - 144 = 0 (Factorable) x² + 24x - 6x - 144 x(x + 24) - 6(x + 24) (x - 6)(x + 24) = 0 x - 6 = 0 or x + 24 = 0 x = 6 x = -24 But x represents the length of a segment and it can't be negative, so x ≠ -24 & x = 6. Finally, find the area of △DCE. Substitute x = 6. A = (bh)/2 = (12 * 6)/2 = 72/2 = 36 So, the area of the blue triangle is 36 square centimeters.
What happens if this is substituted to the Heron's formula as a=x+4, b=4*sqrt(10), c=sqrt(x^2+144), s=(a+b+c)/2 and set equal to 6x+24 ? (That could be required if angle is not 30°, 45°, 60° with no solution to the sin(angle)) Should the Heron's formula result to the same result 6x+24 and task would not get completed with it this case...?

1/ EB= 4cm so AE= 4sqrt10
2/ From D drop the height DH to AE.
The angle ADH=angle EAB ( the sides are perpendicular) so the two triangles ADH and EAB are similar.
Label DH= h-> h/AH=AB/AE=12/4=3

I used trig to solve this.

Let BE=x
Area of the triangle ABE=24cm^2
1/2(12)(x)=24
so x=4cm
Tan(AEB)=12/4=3
So LAEB=71.57°
LCED=180-(45+71.57°)=63.43°
Tan(63.43°)=12/CE
So CE=6cm
Area of the Blue triangle=1/2(12)(6)=36cm^2.❤❤❤

I used trig, so there was a tiny rounding error, but I put 36 as it was too close to not be!
I used Trigonometry:
Angle(EAB)=€=Angle(FEA) {Side/Angle/Side}
Angle(DEF)=¥=Angle(EDC) {Side/Angle/Side}
Tan€=4/12
€=ArcTan(4/12)=18.43°
€+¥=45°
¥=45°-€=26.57°
Tan¥=(X/12)
X=12•Tan(26.57°)=6
Area=½•12•6=36cm²
Green triangle area = 24.
1/2 x 12 x EB = 24.
EB = 4.
Tan BEA = 12 / 4 = 3.
Angle BEA = 71.565 degrees.
Blue triangle.
Angle DEC = 180 - 71.565 - 45 = 63.435 degrees.
Tan 63.435 = 12 / CE.
CE = 12 / 2 = 6.
Area = 1/2 x 6 x 12 = 36.

EB = 48/12 = 4. Let t = angleAEB,
In triangle ABE: tan(t) = AB/AB = 12/4 = 3
Let u = angleDEC, We have t + u + 45° = 180°,
so u = 135° -t and tan(u) = tan(135° -t)
tan(u) = (tan(135°) - tan(t))/(1 + tan(135°).tan(t))
= (-1 -3)/(1+ (-1).(3)) =-4/-2 = 2
In triangle DEC: tan(u) = 2 = DE/EC = 12/EC, sonEC =6
Finally the area of the blue triangle is (1/2).12.6 = 36.

Let's find the area:

The green triangle is a right triangle, so we can conclude:
A(green) = A(ABE) = (1/2)*AB*BE
⇒ BE = 2*A(ABE)/AB = 2*(24cm²)/(12cm) = 4cm
By applying trigonometry we obtain:
tan(∠AEB) = AB/BE = (12cm)/(4cm)= 3
tan(∠BED)
= tan(∠AEB + ∠AED)
= [tan(∠AEB) + tan(∠AED)]/[1 − tan(∠AEB)*tan(∠AED)]
= [3 + tan(45°)]/[1 − 3*tan(45°)]
= (3 + 1)/(1 − 3*1)
= 4/(−2)
= −2
tan(∠CED)
= tan(∠BEC − ∠BED)
= [tan(∠BEC) − tan(∠BED)]/[1 + tan(∠BEC)*tan(∠BED)]
= [tan(180°) − (−2)]/[1 + tan(180°)*(−2)]
= (0 + 2)/(1 − 0*2)
= 2
Now we are able to calculate the area of the blue right triangle:
tan(∠CED) = CD/CE ⇒ CE = CD/tan(∠CED) = (12cm)/2 = 6cm
A(blue) = A(CDE) = (1/2)*CD*CE = (1/2)*(12cm)*(6cm) = 36cm²

Then arc tan 12/4 = 71.6 deg
180 - 45 - 71.6 = 63.4
height blue triang = 12/tan 63.4

A(blu) = 6 * 12 / 2 = 36 Enjoyable. Send more.

My exact approach.
Did same with arctan and tan.
ABCD is a rectangle.
By the Parallelogram Opposite Sides Theorem, AB = 12.
A = (bh)/2
24 = (12 * h)/2
6h = 24
h = 4
So, BE = 4 cm.
Label CE = x. Then BC = x + 4 cm.
Draw an altitude of △AED from E to a point F on base AD. This divides rectangle ABCD into two smaller rectangles with a pair of congruent triangles each.
Because △ABE ≅ △AFE, the area of △AFE is 24 cm².
A = (bh)/2
= (12 * x)/2
= 6x
Because △DCE ≅ △DFE, the area of △DFE is 6x cm².
△AFE & △DFE combine to form △AED.
So, the area of △AED is 6x + 24 cm².
But then we can also find the area of △AED by using the side-sine area formula.
Find AE & DE. Use the Pythagorean Theorem.
a² + b² = c²
12² + 4² = (AE)²
(AE)² = 144 + 16
= 160
AE = √160
= (√16)(√10)
= 4√10
12² + x² = (DE)²
(DE)² = x² + 144
DE = √(x² + 144)
A = 1/2 * a * b * sinC
= 1/2 * 4√10 * √(x² + 144) * sin(45°)
= 2√10 * √(x² + 144) * sin(45°)
= √40 * √(x² + 144) * sin(45°)
= √[40 * (x² + 144)] * sin(45°)
= √(40x² + 5760) * sin(45°)
= √(40x² + 5760) * [(√2)/2]
2A = √(40x² + 5760) * √2
2(6x + 24) = √(40x² + 5760) * √2
12x + 48 = √[2 * (40x² + 5760)]
= √(80x² + 11520)
(12x + 48)² = [√(80x² + 11520)]²
144x² + 1152x + 2304 = 80x² + 11520
64x² + 1152x + 2304 = 11520
64x² + 1152x - 9216 = 0
x² + 18x - 144 = 0 (Factorable)
x² + 24x - 6x - 144
x(x + 24) - 6(x + 24)
(x - 6)(x + 24) = 0
x - 6 = 0 or x + 24 = 0
x = 6 x = -24
But x represents the length of a segment and it can't be negative, so x ≠ -24 & x = 6.
Finally, find the area of △DCE. Substitute x = 6.
A = (bh)/2
= (12 * 6)/2
= 72/2
= 36
So, the area of the blue triangle is 36 square centimeters.
What happens if this is substituted to the Heron's formula as a=x+4, b=4*sqrt(10), c=sqrt(x^2+144), s=(a+b+c)/2 and set equal to 6x+24 ?
(That could be required if angle is not 30°, 45°, 60° with no solution to the sin(angle))
Should the Heron's formula result to the same result 6x+24 and task would not get completed with it this case...?

Possible avec la trigo, mais à un moment on a : tan(45 - atan(1/3)) = 0,5 qu'il est impossible à deviner sans calculatrice

48cm^2=ar blue shade.
brute force (i.e. with trigonometry):
1. BE = 4cm;
2. tg (AEF) = 4/12 = 1/3; AEF = atan(1/3);
3. DAF = D45 - atan(1/3);
4. tg(DAF) = x/12; => x= 12*tg(DAF) = 12 * tg(45-atan(1/3)) = 12 * (tg(45)-tg(atan(1/3)))/(1+tg(45)*tg(atan(1/3)) = 12* (1-1/3)/(1+1/3)= 12 * (2/3)/(4/3) = 12* (2/4) = 6 cm;
5. Ablue = 12*x/2= 12*6/2= 36 sq cm.

Triangle ∆ABE:
Area = bh/2 = AB(BE)/2
24 =12BE/2 = 6BE
BE = 24/6 = 4
Let ∠BEA = θ and ∠DEC = α. α = 180°- 45°- θ = 135°- θ. tan(θ) = AB/BE = 12/4 = 3.
tan(α) = tan(135°- θ)
tan(α) = (tan(135°)-tan(θ))/(1+tan(135°)tan(θ))
tan(α) = (-1-3)/(1+(-1)3)
tan(α) = (-4)/(1-3) = -4/(-2) = 2
CD/EC = 2
