Problem
A convex quadrilateral has area and side lengths
and
in that order. Denote by
the measure of the acute angle formed by the diagonals of the quadrilateral. Then
can be written in the form
, where
and
are relatively prime positive integers. Find
.
Solution 1
We denote by ,
,
and
four vertices of this quadrilateral, such that
,
,
,
.
We denote by
the point that two diagonals
and
meet at.
To simplify the notation, we denote
,
,
,
.
We denote
.
First, we write down an equation of the area of the quadrilateral .
We have
.
Because
, we have
. We index this equation as Eq (1).
