It's NOT 1/2 x SQRT(2) x SQRT(7). Rather, it's 1/2 x SQRT(2) x 7.
Since quadrilateral A B F C is cyclic, we have by Ptolemy's theorem in cyclic quad. ABFC
A F × B C = A B × C F + A C × B F
⇒ A F × 5 = 3 × 2 5 + 4 × 2 5
∴ A F = 2 7 ≈ 4 . 9 4 9 .
Q . E . D
I solved it the same way you did.
Since, A B C and. B C F are right triangles and share common hypotenuse B C , they can be inscribed in a Circle as shown. Let, A = ( − a , − b ) , B = ( − 2 B C , 0 ) , C = ( 2 B C , 0 ) , F = ( 0 , 2 B C )
A will lie in 3 r d quadrant if you plot this on a Cartesian plane. B C will lie along X-axis and F M along Y-axis. M will be at Origin.
A r ( A B C ) = 2 1 × A B × A C = 2 1 × B C × A N
A C = 4 , A B = 3 , B C = A B 2 + A C 2 = 5
We get, A N = 2 . 4 = b
Since, A lies on Circle it can be parametrically written as ( − a , − b ) = ( − 2 . 5 cos β , − 2 . 5 sin β )
Therefore, sin β = 2 . 5 2 . 4 ⇒ cos β = 1 − sin 2 β = 2 . 5 0 . 7
⇒ a = 0 . 7
A = ( − 0 . 7 , − 2 . 4 ) and F = ( 0 , 2 . 5 )
So, A F = ( 0 . 7 − 0 ) 2 + ( − 2 . 4 − 2 . 5 ) 2 = 4 . 9 4 9 7 4 7 4 6 8 3 1
Finally we get , A N S W E R : 4 9 4 9

Add another 3 right-angled triangles, as shown. Then we see that A F = 2 1 A H = 2 1 × 7 2 ≈ 4 . 9 4 9 7 . Hence ⌊ 1 0 0 0 x ⌋ = 4 9 4 9 .
