Problem
A point 
is chosen in isosceles trapezoid 
with 
, 
, 
, and 
. If the sum of the areas of 
and 
is 
, then the area of 
can be written as 
where 
and 
are relatively prime. Find 
Solution
We have the area of the trapezoid is 
since the height is 
. Now, subtracting we have 
for 
is the height of 
. This means 
, asserting the area of is
