A circle passes through the vertex of a square and touches its sides and at and respectively .If the distance from to the line segment MN is equal to 5 units.Then the area of the rectangle is:

Very nice problem.
So, we have that C T (picture) is 5 . Because the circle only touches A B and A D , it is obligated that the circle's radius forms right angle with both segments. Therefore, we can represent C T as r + 2 r 2 . Thus, we can say that r = 2 + 2 1 0 .
Now, let's focus on a ( □ A B C D 's side). A M is obviosly r ( A M O N is square) and M B will be 2 r 2 , therefore a = r × 2 2 + 2 .
When we use swap r with 2 + 2 1 0 , we get that a = 2 + 2 1 0 × 2 2 + 2 , and that is a = 5 .
From this point, further explaining is not necessary. Solution is 2 5 .
