Let the point F be the centre of the pentagon, and the point G be the foot of D F on A B , as shown.
It is not difficult to find out that ∠ G F B = 3 6 ∘ and that ∠ G D B = 1 8 ∘ .
Now, the area of the triangle A B D is 2 tan 1 8 ∘ ( A B ) ( G B ) while the area of the pentagon A B C D is 5 × 2 tan 3 6 ∘ ( A B ) ( G B ) .
Hence ⌊ 1 0 0 0 R ⌋ = ⌊ 1 0 0 0 × 5 tan 1 8 ∘ tan 3 6 ∘ ⌋ = ⌊ 5 1 0 0 0 ⌋ = 4 4 7 .
