Question Number 171493 by Mastermind last updated on 16/Jun/22

Answered by mr W last updated on 16/Jun/22

A=4×shaded triangle+1×square  A=4×((2×3×(√2))/(2×2))+(2^2 +3^2 +2×2×3×((√2)/2))  A=13+12(√2)

$${A}=\mathrm{4}×{shaded}\:{triangle}+\mathrm{1}×{square} \\ $$$${A}=\mathrm{4}×\frac{\mathrm{2}×\mathrm{3}×\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}}{\mathrm{2}×\mathrm{2}}+\left(\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}×\mathrm{2}×\mathrm{3}×\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}}{\mathrm{2}}\right) \\ $$$${A}=\mathrm{13}+\mathrm{12}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$

let′s look at a n−side−polygon  inscribed in a circle. the sides   lengthes are a_1 ,a_2 ,...a_i ,...a_n . say the  radius is R.  we see that the area of the  polygon is the sum of all n triangles  with sides R,a_i ,R. only the sum of  the n triangles is important, the order  of the n triangles doesn′t matter.  i.e. we can rearrange the n sides   arbitrarily without changing the area  of the inscribed polygon.

usually i don′t show every step when  i try to solve a problem. certainly i  know that the question says “four   consecutive sides of length 3 and four  consecutive sides of length 2”. but for  a polygon inscribed in a circle, its  area is independent in which order  its sides are arranged. therefore i  rearranged the order of the sides so  that its area can be easily calculated.
