| − | A regular pentagon with area <math>1+\sqrt5</math> is printed on paper and cut out. All five vertices are folded to the center of the pentagon, creating a smaller pentagon. What is the area of the new pentagon?

| − | Let <math>r_b</math> and <math>r_s</math> be the circumradius of the big and small pentagon, respectively. Let <math>a_s</math> be the apothem of the smaller pentagon and <math>A_s</math> and <math>A_b</math> be the areas of the smaller and larger pentagon, respectively.

| − | From the diagram:
| |
| − | <cmath>\begin{align*}
| |
| − | \cos{36^\circ} &= \dfrac{a_s}{r_s} = \dfrac{\phi}{2} = \dfrac{\sqrt{5}+1}{4}\\
| |
| − | a_s &= \dfrac{r_b}{2}\\
| |
| − | A_s &= (\dfrac{r_s}{r_b})^2A_b\\
| |
| − | &=(\dfrac{a_s}{\cos{36^\circ} r_b})^2 (1+\sqrt{5})\\
| |
| − | &=(\dfrac{r_b}{\dfrac{\phi}{2} r_b})^2 (1+\sqrt{5})\\
| |
| − | &=(\dfrac{1}{2 \dfrac{\phi}{2}})^2 (1+\sqrt{5})\\
| |
| − | &=(\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{5}+1})^2 (1+\sqrt{5})\\
| |
| − | &=\dfrac{4}{\sqrt{5}+1} \\
| |
| − | &=\dfrac{4(\sqrt{5}-1)}{(\sqrt{5}+1)(\sqrt{5}-1)} \\
| |
| − | &=\sqrt{5}-1
| |
| − | \end{align*}</cmath>

| − | Interestingly, we find that the pentagon we need is the one that is represented by the intersection of the diagonals. Through similar triangles and the golden ratio, we find that the side length ratio of the two pentagons is <math>\frac{\sqrt{5}-1}{2}</math> Thus, the answer is <math>\sqrt{5}+1 \cdot (\frac{\sqrt{5}-1}{2})^2 = \sqrt{5}-1</math>. <math>\boxed{\text{B}}</math>
