EJ=((AF)/2)=BF ⇒BG=GE EJ=((AF)/2)=(1/2)×(2/3)AB=((AB)/3)=((DC)/3) ⇒EI=((IC)/3)=((EC)/4) FK=((AE)/3)=((BC)/6) ⇒BK=6×HK=(6/7)×BK=(6/7)×((BE)/3)=(2/7)×BE ΔBHC=(2/7)×ΔBEC ΔEGI=(1/4)×ΔEGC=(1/8)×ΔBEC shados=(1−(2/7)−(1/8))×ΔBEC =((33)/(56))×ΔBEC =((33)/(56))×(1/2)=((33)/(112))

$${EJ}=\frac{{AF}}{\mathrm{2}}={BF} \\ $$ $$\Rightarrow{BG}={GE} \\ $$ $${EJ}=\frac{{AF}}{\mathrm{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}×\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}}{AB}=\frac{{AB}}{\mathrm{3}}=\frac{{DC}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$ $$\Rightarrow{EI}=\frac{{IC}}{\mathrm{3}}=\frac{{EC}}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$ $${FK}=\frac{{AE}}{\mathrm{3}}=\frac{{BC}}{\mathrm{6}} \\ $$ $$\Rightarrow{BK}=\mathrm{6}×{HK}=\frac{\mathrm{6}}{\mathrm{7}}×{BK}=\frac{\mathrm{6}}{\mathrm{7}}×\frac{{BE}}{\mathrm{3}}=\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{7}}×{BE} \\ $$ $$\Delta{BHC}=\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{7}}×\Delta{BEC} \\ $$ $$\Delta{EGI}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}×\Delta{EGC}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{8}}×\Delta{BEC} \\ $$ $${shados}=\left(\mathrm{1}−\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{7}}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{8}}\right)×\Delta{BEC} \\ $$ $$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:=\frac{\mathrm{33}}{\mathrm{56}}×\Delta{BEC} \\ $$ $$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:=\frac{\mathrm{33}}{\mathrm{56}}×\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{\color{mathred}{3}\color{mathred}{3}}}{\mathrm{\color{mathred}{1}\color{mathred}{1}\color{mathred}{2}}} \\ $$

we can make simpler by considering this a 12×12 square with B at origin. We have to remember to divide by 12^2 at the end. We get coordinates B(0,0) ,A(0,12),F(0,4) E(6,12), D(12,12),C(12,0). we need to? calculate G,H,I. G is the meet if BE and DF ⇒ G(3,6); H(((12)/7),((24)/7)) ; I(((15)/2), 9). The shadow area is = (1/2) ∣ determinant (((12 0)),((((12)/7) ((24)/7))))+ determinant (((((12)/7) ((24)/7))),(( 3 6)))+ determinant (((3 6)),((((15)/2) 9)))+ determinant (((((15)/2) 9)),((12 0)))∣ =(1/2)∣((288)/7) + 0 −18−108 ∣ =(1/2). ((594)/7) = ((297)/7) .Therefore we get the shadow area is ((297)/(7×144)) = ((33)/(112))
