Let θ = ∠ A C G = ∠ G C B = ∠ B C D .
A E is the height to the hypotenuse of right △ A B C , thus, A C 2 = C E ⋅ C B ⇒ 3 6 = C E ⋅ ( C E + 1 ) ⇒ C E 2 + C E − 3 6 = 0 ⇒ C E = 2 − 1 + 1 4 5 By Pythagorean theorem, A B 2 = C B 2 − A C 2 = ( C E + E B ) 2 − A C 2 = ( 2 − 1 + 1 4 5 + 1 ) 2 − 6 2 = 2 1 + 1 4 5 A B = 2 1 + 1 4 5 By angle bisector theorem on A B C , G B A G = C B A C ⇒ G B + A G A G = C B + A C A C ⇒ A B A G = 2 1 + 1 4 5 + 6 2 1 + 1 4 5 ⇒ tan θ = 1 2 + 1 4 5 1 Finally, for the area A of △ A C D we have A = 2 1 A C ⋅ A D = 2 1 A C 2 tan 3 θ = 1 8 1 − 3 tan 2 θ 3 tan θ − tan 3 θ Substituting, we find A = 2 9 2 5 ( 1 4 5 − 9 ) Consequently, A 2 = 8 4 0 5 ( 1 4 5 − 9 ) ⇔ 8 A 2 + 3 6 4 5 = 4 0 5 1 4 5 ⇔ ( 8 A 2 + 3 6 4 5 ) 2 = 23783625 ⇔ 6 4 A 4 + 5 8 3 2 0 A 2 − 1 0 4 9 7 6 0 0 = 0 ⇔ 4 A 4 + 3 6 4 5 A 2 − 6 5 6 1 0 0 = 0 i.e. A is a root of the polynomial f ( x ) = 4 x 4 + 3 6 4 5 x 2 − 6 5 6 1 0 0 .
For the answer, f ( 1 3 ) = 4 × 1 3 4 + 3 6 4 5 × 1 3 2 − 6 5 6 1 0 0 = 7 4 1 4 9 .
