Problem

Triangle $ABC$ has $AB = 3, BC = 4,$ and $CA = 5$. Points $D, E, F, G, H,$ and $I$ are the reflections of $A$ over $B$, $B$ over $A$, $B$ over $C$, $C$ over $B$, $C$ over $A$, and $A$ over $C$, respectively. Find the area of hexagon $EFIDGH$.

Solution 1

The area of rectangle $BEHG$ is $6 \cdot 4 = 24$. The area of triangle $BEF = \frac {8 \cdot 6}{2} = 24$. The area of rectangle $BDIF$ is $3 \cdot = 24$. The area of triangle $DBG$ is $\frac {4 \cdot 3}{2} = 6$. Add them all together to get $\boxed {78}$.
