2022 AIME II Problems/Problem 11
Problem
Let be a convex quadrilateral with
,
, and
such that the bisectors of acute angles
and
intersect at the midpoint of
. Find the square of the area of
.
Solution
According to the problem, we have ,
,
,
, and
Because is the midpoint of
, we have
, so:
Then, we can see that is an isosceles triangle with
Therefore, we could start our angle chasing: .
This is when we found that points ,
,
, and
are on a circle. Thus,
. This is the time we found that
.
Thus,
Point is the midpoint of
, and
.
.
The area of this quadrilateral is the sum of areas of triangles:
Finally, the square of the area is
