Problem
In the diagram below, is a rectangle with side lengths and , and is a rectangle with side lengths and as shown. The area of the shaded region common to the interiors of both rectangles is , where and are relatively prime positive integers. Find .
Solution 1 (Similar Triangles)
Let be the intersection of and . From vertical angles, we know that . Also, given that and are rectangles, we know that . Therefore, by AA similarity, we know that triangles and are similar.
Let . Then, we have . By similar triangles, we know that and . We have .
Solving for , we have . The area of the shaded region is just . Thus, the answer is . ~yuanyuanC
