Calculating Inscribed Blue Rectangle Area.


a = 15+5

a = 20 units.


Let b be the length of the blue inscribed rectangle.


b² = 2(20)²-2(20)²cos(90-x)

b² = 800-800(cos90cosx+sin90sinx)

b² = 800-800sinx --- (1).


b² = 2(15)²-2(15)²cos(90+x)

b² = 450-450(cos90cosx-sin90sinx)

b² = 450-450(-sinx) 

b² = 450+450sinx --- (2).


Equating (1) and (2).


800-800sinx = 450+450sinx


350 = 1250sinx


sinx = 7/25


x = 16.2602047083°


It implies;


c² = 15²+20²-2*15*20cos16.2602047083

c = 7 units.

c is the width of the inscribed blue rectangle.


d = 90+x

d = 90+16.2602047083

d = 106.2602047083°


e² = 2(15)²-2(15)²cos106.2602047083

e = 24 units.

e is the length of the inscribed blue rectangle.


Area Blue Inscribed Rectangle is;


c*e


= 7*24


= 168 square units.
