Let the width of the green inscribed rectangle be a.


Let the length of the green inscribed rectangle be b.


c = (5-a) cm.


d = (5-b) cm.


It implies.


(5-a)(5-b) = 2*5

(5-a)(5-b) = 10 --- (1).


5² = e²+(5-a)²

e² = 25-(25-10a+a²)

e = √(10a-a²) cm.


e+b = 5

b = 5-√(10a-a²) --- (2).


Substituting (2) in (1).


(5-a)(5-(5-√(10a-a²))) = 10

(5-a)√(10a-a²) = 10

(5-a)²(10a-a²) = 100


a = 0.5279 cm.

Again, a is the width of the green inscribed rectangle.


Recall.


(5-a)(5-b) = 10 --- (1).

And a = 0.5279 cm.

Calculating b.

(5-0.5279)(5-b) = 10

5-b = 10/(5-0.5279)

5-b = 2.2360859551

b = 5-2.2360859551

b = 2.7639140449 cm.

Again, b is the length of the green inscribed rectangle.


Area Green Rectangle is;


ab

= 0.5279*2.7639140449

= 1.4590702243 cm²
