A. In 2*2 square ABCD, E is the midpoint of the side AD. F is a point in BE. CF is perpendicular to BE.

Find
the area of the quadrilateral CDEF.

1. The area of the quadrilateral CDEF is the area of the square ABCD minus the sum of the areas of the
triangles ABE and FBC.
2. What is the area of triangle ABE?
3. What is the length of the line segment BE?
4. What do you know about the pair of triangles ABE and FB?
5. Solve using the Geometer’s Sketchpad.

B. In rectangle ABCD, angle BCD is trisected. CE, CF meet the sides AB, AD at E,F. BE = 6cm, AF = 2cm so,
find the area of the rectangle ABCD?

First consider triangle Angle is a right angle and angle is one third of angle so the
measure of angle is What is the length of
C. My grandson and I would like to make a 6'x6' octagon floor for a deer blind, a cover device for hunters or
gamekeepers, designed to reduce the chance of detection. He is eight yrs. old and the math is outside my
wheelhouse. We need to know the length of the boards and angles of the corners please.

D. From the figure shown below, DE is the diameter of circle A and BC is the radius of circle B. If DE = 60 cm
and AC = 10 cm, find the area of the shaded region.

E. Point P is inside the isosceles right triangle ABC. AP is 15 cm, BP is 9 cm and CP is 12 cm as shown.
Determine the area of the triangle ABC.
