Each half of the shape consists of 1. an isosceles triangle a, a, b 2. a rectangular triangle with p^2 +q^2 =b^2 The rectangular triangle has the greatest area when p=q=(b/( (√2))) ⇒ the entire area is A=((b(b+(√(4a^2 +b^2 ))))/2). By solving (dA/db)=0 we get b=(√(2+(√2)))a ⇒ A=(1+(√2))a^2

let′s look at the general case with 4 different sides a,b,c,d. if we image that the wall is a mirror, the question is when the area of an octagon is maximum. the answer is when the octagon is cyclic.

in current question we have equal sides, therefore the maximum area is the half of a regular octagon. A_(max) =(8/2)×((R^2 sin (((360°)/8)))/2)=(√2)R^2 with R=(a/(2 sin 22.5°))=(a/( (√(2−(√2))))) ⇒A_(max) =(√2)×(a^2 /(2−(√2)))=((√2)+1)a^2

$${in}\:{current}\:{question}\:{we}\:{have}\:{equal} \\ $$$${sides},\:{therefore}\:{the}\:{maximum}\:{area} \\ $$$${is}\:{the}\:{half}\:{of}\:{a}\:{regular}\:{octagon}. \\ $$$${A}_{{max}} =\frac{\mathrm{8}}{\mathrm{2}}×\frac{{R}^{\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{sin}\:\left(\frac{\mathrm{360}°}{\mathrm{8}}\right)}{\mathrm{2}}=\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}{R}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\:{with}\:{R}=\frac{{a}}{\mathrm{2}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{22}.\mathrm{5}°}=\frac{{a}}{\:\sqrt{\mathrm{2}−\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{A}_{{max}} =\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}×\frac{{a}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{2}−\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}}=\left(\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}+\mathrm{1}\right){a}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$
