Notice.


The ascribed quadrilateral is a square.


Let it's side length be x.


a²+x² = 3²

a = √(9-x²) units.   


2 ~ 3

b ~ x


Cross Multiply.


b = ⅓(2x) units.


It implies;


Calculating x.


x²-½(x*√(9-x²)) = ½(x+⅓(2x))*x


2x²-x√(9-x²) = ⅓(5x)*x


2x-√(9-x²) = ⅓(5x)


x = 3√(9-x²)


x² = 81-9x²


10x² = 81


x = ⅒(9√(10)) units.

x = 2.84604989415 units.

Again, x is the side length of the square.


cosc = 2.84604989415/3

c = 18.434948823°


sin18.434948823 = d/2

d = 0.63245553204 units.


e = x-d

e = 2.84604989415-0.63245553204

e = 2.21359436211 units.


The required area is;


½(2*3)+½(x*e)

= 3+0.5*2.84604989415*2.21359436211

= 3+3.15

= 6.15 square units.
