△AMN is an isoceles triangle with AM=AN  AM+BM= AN+D^′ N=16  Area ABMND^′ = Area of ABCD −Area of △AMN.

$$\bigtriangleup\mathrm{AMN}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{an}\:\mathrm{isoceles}\:\mathrm{triangle}\:\mathrm{with}\:\mathrm{AM}=\mathrm{AN} \\ $$$$\mathrm{AM}+\mathrm{BM}=\:\mathrm{AN}+\mathrm{D}^{'} \mathrm{N}=\mathrm{16} \\ $$$$\mathrm{Area}\:\mathrm{ABMND}^{'} =\:\mathrm{Area}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{ABCD}\:−\mathrm{Area}\:\mathrm{of}\:\bigtriangleup\mathrm{AMN}. \\ $$

a piece papaer ABCD is folded along  MN such that point C coincides with  point A and a pentagon ABMND′ is  formed.  find the area of the pentagon.

let MC=MA=x  BM=16−x  x^2 =4^2 +(16−x)^2   2x=17  x=((17)/2)  AN=AM=((17)/2)  Δ_(AMN) =(1/2)×((17)/2)×4=17  ABMND′=16×4−17=47

$${let}\:{MC}={MA}={x} \\ $$$${BM}=\mathrm{16}−{x} \\ $$$${x}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{4}^{\mathrm{2}} +\left(\mathrm{16}−{x}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}{x}=\mathrm{17} \\ $$$${x}=\frac{\mathrm{17}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${AN}={AM}=\frac{\mathrm{17}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Delta_{{AMN}} =\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}×\frac{\mathrm{17}}{\mathrm{2}}×\mathrm{4}=\mathrm{17} \\ $$$${ABMND}'=\mathrm{16}×\mathrm{4}−\mathrm{17}=\mathrm{47} \\ $$
