Problem 11

Square $EFGH$ has one vertex on each side of square $ABCD$. Point $E$ is on $AB$ with $AE=7\cdot EB$. What is the ratio of the area of $EFGH$ to the area of $ABCD$?

$\text{(A)}\,\frac{49}{64} \qquad\text{(B)}\,\frac{25}{32} \qquad\text{(C)}\,\frac78 \qquad\text{(D)}\,\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{8} \qquad\text{(E)}\,\frac{\sqrt{14}}{4}$
