Calculating Area of the Red Rectangle.


Let x and y be the length and width of the red rectangle respectively.


tana = 4/3

a = atan(4/3)°


b = 90-a

b = atan(3/4)°


c = ½(180-a)

c = ½(180-atan(4/3))°


d = ½(180-b)

d = ½(180-atan(3/4))°


tan(½(180-atan(4/3))) = 3/e

e = 3/tan(½(180-atan(4/3)))

e = ½(3)

e = (3/2) units.


tan(½(180-atan(3/4))) = 4/f

f = 4/tan(½(180-atan(3/4)))

f = ⅓(4)

f = (4/3) units.


Therefore;


x = 4+(4/3)

x = ⅓(16) units.

Again, x is the length of the red rectangle.


y = 3+(3/2)

y = ½(9) units.

Again, y is the width of the red rectangle.


It implies, area green rectangle is;


xy


= ⅓(16)*½(9)


= 8*3


= 24 square units.


Or


Calculating Area of the Red Rectangle.


Let x and y be the length and width of the red rectangle respectively.


a² = 2(3)²

a = 3√(2) units.


b² = 2(4)²

b = 4√(2) units.


c = a+b

c = 3√(2)+4√(2)

c = 7√(2) units.


d = 4-3

d = 1 unit.


cose = d/c

e = acos(1/(7√(2)))°

e = 84.2023636705°


f = e-45

f = 84.2023636705-45

f = 39.2023636705°


g = 90-f

g = 90-39.2023636705

g = 50.7976363295°


h = ½(180-f)

h = 0.5(180-39.2023636705°)

h = 70.3988181648°


j = ½(180-g)

j = 0.5(180-50.7976363295)

j = 64.6011818353°


tanh = 4/k

tan70.3988181648 = 4/k

k = 1.4244289009 units.


tanj = 3/l

tan64.6011818353 = 3/l

l = 1.42442890089 units.


Notice.


k = l


Therefore;


x = 4+k

x = 4+1.42442890089

x = 5.42442890089 units.

Again, x is the length of the red rectangle.


y = 3+l

y = 3+1.42442890089

y = 4.42442890089 units.


It implies, area red rectangle is;


xy


= 5.42442890089*4.42442890089


= 24 square units.


Or


Calculating Area of the Red Rectangle.


Let x and y be the length and width of the red rectangle respectively.


a² = 2(3)²

a = 3√(2) units.


b² = 2(4)²

b = 4√(2) units.


c = a+b

c = 3√(2)+4√(2)

c = 7√(2) units.


d = 4-3

d = 1 unit.


e² +1² = (7√(2))²

e² = 98-1

e = √(97) units.


f = (z+4) units.

Where f = x.


g = (z+3) units.

Where g = y.


h = e-z-z

h = (√(97)-2z) units.


Calculating z.


f²+g² = h²


(z+4)²+(z+3)² = (√(97)-2z)²


z²+8z+16+z²+6z+9 = 97-4√(97)z+4z²


2z²+14z+25 = 97-4√(97)z+4z²


2z²-53.3954312072z+72 = 0


Therefore;


z ≠ 25.274 units.

z = 1.424 units.


Recall.


f = (z+4) units.

And f = x, z = 1.424 units.

x = 1.424+4

x = 5.424 units.


g = (z+3) units.

And g = y, z = 1.424 units.

y = 1.424+3

y = 4.424 units.


It implies;


Area Red Rectangle is;


xy


= 5.424*4.424


= 24 square units.
