The P , Q points are on the perimeter of the A B C D rectangle as is shown on the figure below, such that A P = C Q = 3 and B P = D Q = 9 .
What is the area of the green quadrilateral, if the area of A B C D is 4 8 ?

Since A P = C Q and A P ∣ ∣ C Q , the A P C Q quadrilateral is a parallelogram, [ A P C Q ] = A P ∗ B C = 3 ∗ 1 2 4 8 = 1 2 It is clear that △ P B F ∼ △ F C Q , and the similarity ratio is P B : Q C = 3 : 1 . From that F Y : F X = 3 : 1 (where F Y and F X are altitudes). Since X Y = B C = 4 , F X = 1 , [ Q C F ] = 2 3 ∗ 1 = 1 . 5 Since △ A P E ≅ △ C Q F , [ P F Q E ] = [ A P C Q ] − [ A P E ] − [ Q C F ] = [ A P C Q ] − 2 ∗ [ Q C F ] = 1 2 − 2 ∗ 1 . 5 = 9
We know that C B is equal to 4 and that △ M A P is semelhant to △ P N B the ratio of similiarity is 3 1 also we know that their heights sum up to 4 now we can conclude △ P N B height is 3, so we have A B C D − ( 2 × △ P N B + 2 × △ D A P ) that is equal to 9
Use coordinate geometry.Let point A(0,0), and the intersection of line AQ and DP is R.Point D(0,4), P(3,0), and Q(9,4). So line DP has equation 4x+3y=12, and AQ: y=(4/9) x.The intersection point R(9/4, 1). The shaded area =2( [DPQ] – [DRQ]) = 2(18 – 9(3/2)) =9.

tan w = 4 3 ⟹ w = 3 6 . 8 6 9 8 9 7 6 5 ∘

By sine law ,
sin y 9 = sin x Q R ⟹ Q R = 7 . 3 8 6 6 4 3 3 5 2
Let A Y be the area of the yellow region, then A Y = 2 ( 2 1 ) ( 9 ) ( 7 . 3 8 6 6 4 3 3 5 2 ) ( sin z ) = 2 7
Let A B be the area of the blue region, then A B = 4 ( 3 ) = 1 2
Let A G be the area of the green region, then A G = 4 8 − 2 7 − 1 2 = 9
Note: In my computation I used the approximate values of the computed angles since they are not whole numbers. But It will arrive in the correct answer since it is accurate to 8 decimal places.
