| − | Since the total area is <math>4</math>, the side length of square <math>ABCD</math> is <math>2</math>. We see that since triangle <math>HAE</math> is a right isosceles triangle with area 1, we can determine sides <math>HA</math> and <math>AE</math> both to be <math>\sqrt{2}</math>. Now, consider extending <math>FB</math> and <math>IE</math> until they intersect. Let the point of intersection be <math>K</math>. We note that <math>EBK</math> is also a right isosceles triangle with side <math>2-\sqrt{2}</math> and find it's area to be <math>3-\sqrt{2}</math>. Now, we notice that <math>FIK</math> is also a right isosceles triangle and find it's area to be <math>\frac{1}{2}</math><math>FI^2</math>. This is also equal to <math>1+3-2\sqrt{2}</math> or <math>4-2\sqrt{2}</math>. Since we are looking for <math>FI^2</math>, we want two times this. That gives <math>\boxed{\textbf{(B)}\ 8-4\sqrt{2}}</math>
