BE trisects right angle B, angle CBE=30, and angle EBA= 60. Drop a
perpendicular DE to sides AB so angle BED= 30, so that triangle BED is a 30-60-
90 triangle. Let DB=x. That would mean DE= √3𝑋𝑋 and BE= 2x.
Now triangle ADE and ABC are similar to each other. Using similarity we get

Exterior angle of octagon = = 45

∠𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂 = 45 Degree (Exterior angle)
∠𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂= 90 Degree
So ∠H= 45 degree
In triangle ODQ
OD2 = OQ2 + QD2
OQ = √8
Therefore, In triangle CQH is 45 -45-90 triangle
So length of CQ= 4 + √8
Similarly length of QH will be 4 + √8
QH = QC

Now area of CQH = × (4 + √8) × (4 + √8) = 12 + 4√8

Area of OCP= 4
Area of QOPH = Area of CQH- Area of OCP
Area of QOPH = 12+4√8- 4 = 8 + 4 √8

therefore, the areas of above triangle are in 82 : 32 : 52
Area of parallelogram DFCE = Area (ABC-ADF-DBE)
Let the area of triangle ABC = 64a, so area of triangle ADF = 9a and area of
