Let B C = y = x 2 + 4 2 and the inradius be r . Then the area of △ A I B , [ A I B ] = 2 r x and that of quadrilateral E I D C :
[ E I D C ] 2 r x ⟹ x ⟹ x = C A C E [ C I A ] + B C C D [ B I C ] = x + y y ⋅ 2 4 r + x + 4 4 ⋅ 2 r y = x + y 2 r y + x + 4 2 r y = x + y 2 r y + x + 4 2 r y = x + y 4 y + x + 4 4 y = x + x 2 + 1 6 4 x 2 + 1 6 + x + 4 4 x 2 + 1 6 = 2 2 + 2 5 ≈ 5 . 0 8 8 0 7 8 5 9 8 By angle bisector theorem, A E C E = A B B C = x y , B D C D = x 4 Since [ E I D C ] = [ A I B ] Solving the equation
Therefore ⌊ 1 0 4 x ⌋ = 5 0 8 8 0 .

Claim: A B = C E + C D Proof: Note that the perpendiculars drawn from I to the sides A B , B C and C A all have length r (inradius), since the foot of the perpendiculars (from I ) lie on the incircle
So we can rewrite the given area condition as, [ △ A I B ] 2 A B ⋅ r ⟹ A B = [ △ C I E ] + [ △ C I D ] = 2 C E ⋅ r + 2 C D ⋅ r = C E + C D
Note that the incenter , I lies on the angle bisectors of ∠ A and ∠ B . Using the angle bisector theorem , C E A E = x 2 + 1 6 x ⟹ C E + C E ⋅ x 2 + 1 6 x = 4 ⟹ C E = x + x 2 + 1 6 4 x 2 + 1 6 Similarly, C D B D = 4 x ⟹ C D + C D ⋅ 4 x = x 2 + 1 6 ⟹ C D = x + 4 4 x 2 + 1 6
Using the above claim, A B ⟹ x = C E + C D = x + x 2 + 1 6 4 x 2 + 1 6 + x + 4 4 x 2 + 1 6 Solving the above equation gives x = ± 2 2 + 2 5 ≈ 5 . 0 8 8 0 7 8 5 9 ⟹ ⌊ 1 0 4 ⋅ x ⌋ = 5 0 8 8 0
