Problem
Let be a parallelogram with
. A circle tangent to sides
,
, and
intersects diagonal
at points
and
with
, as shown. Suppose that
,
, and
. Then the area of
can be expressed in the form
, where
and
are positive integers, and
is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find
.
Solution 1
Let the circle tangent to at
separately, denote that
Using POP, it is very clear that , let
, using LOC in
,
, similarly, use LOC in
, getting that
. We use the second equation to minus the first equation, getting that
, we can get
.
Now applying LOC in , getting
, solving this equation to get
, then
,
, the area is

Solution 2
Denote by the center of the circle. Denote by
the radius of the circle.
Denote by
,
,
the points that the circle meets
,
,
at, respectively.
Because the circle is tangent to ,
,
,
,
,
,
.
Because ,
,
,
are collinear.
Following from the power of a point, . Hence,
.
Following from the power of a point, . Hence,
.
Denote . Because
and
are tangents to the circle,
.
Because is a right trapezoid,
.
Hence,
.
This can be simplified as
\[
6 x = r^2 . \hspace{1cm} (1)
\]
In , by applying the law of cosines, we have
\begin{align*}
AC^2 & = AB^2 + CB^2 - 2 AB \cdot CB \cos B \\
& = AB^2 + CB^2 + 2 AB \cdot CB \cos A \\
& = AB^2 + CB^2 + 2 AB \cdot CB \cdot \frac{AE - BF}{AB} \\
& = AB^2 + CB^2 + 2 CB \left( AE - BF \right) \\
& = \left( 6 + x \right)^2 + \left( 20 + x \right)^2 + 2 \left( 20 + x \right) \left( 6 - x \right) \\
& = 24 x + 676 .
\end{align*}
Because , we get
.
Plugging this into Equation (1), we get
.
Therefore, \begin{align*} {\rm Area} \ ABCD & = CB \cdot EF \\ & = \left( 20 + x \right) \cdot 2r \\ & = 147 \sqrt{3} . \end{align*}
Therefore, the answer is .

Solution 3
Let be the circle, let
be the radius of
, and let the points at which
is tangent to
,
, and
be
,
, and
, respectively. Note that PoP on
and
with respect to
yields
and
. We can compute the area of
in two ways:
1. By the half-base-height formula, .
2. We can drop altitudes from the center of
to
,
, and
, which have lengths
,
, and
. Thus,
.
Equating the two expressions for and solving for
yields
. Let
. By the Pythagorean Theorem,
. Solving for
yields
. Thus,
, for a final answer of
.
