Problem

Let $ABCD$ be an isosceles trapezoid with $AD=BC$ and $AB<CD.$ Suppose that the distances from $A$ to the lines $BC,CD,$ and $BD$ are $15,18,$ and $10,$ respectively. Let $K$ be the area of $ABCD.$ Find $\sqrt2 \cdot K.$

Solution 1

Construct your isosceles trapezoid. Let, for simplicity, $AB = a$, $AD = BC = b$, and $CD = c$. Extend the sides $BC$ and $AD$ mark the intersection as $P$. Following what the question states, drop a perpendicular from $A$ to $BC$ labeling the foot as $G$. Drop another perpendicular from $A$ to $CD$, calling the foot $E$. Lastly, drop a perpendicular from $A$ to $BD$, labeling it $F$. In addition, drop a perpendicular from $B$ to $AC$ calling its foot $F'$.

--DIAGRAM COMING SOON--

Start out by constructing a triangle $ADH$ congruent to $\triangle ABC$ with its side of length $a$ on line $DE$. This works because all isosceles triangles are cyclic and as a result, $\angle ADC + \angle ABC = 180^\circ$.

Notice that $\triangle AGC \sim \triangle BF'C$ by AA similarity. We are given that $AG = 15$ and by symmetry we can deduce that $F'B = 10$. As a result, $\frac{BF}{AG} = \frac{BC}{AC} = \frac{3}{2}$. This gives us that $AC = BD = \frac{3}{2} b$.

The question asks us along the lines of finding the area, $K$, of the trapezoid $ABCD$. We look at the area of $ABC$ and notice that it can be represented as $\frac{1}{2} \cdot AC \cdot 10 = \frac{1}{2} \cdot a \cdot 18$. Substituting $AC = \frac{3}{2} b$, we solve for $a$, getting $a = \frac{5}{6} b$.

Now let us focus on isosceles triangle $ACH$, where $AH = AC = \frac{3}{2} b$. Since, $AE$ is an altitude from $A$ to $CH$ of an isosceles triangle, $HE$ must be equal to $EC$. Since $DH = a$ and $DC = c$, we can solve to get that $DE = \frac{c-a}{2}$ and $EC = \frac{a+c}{2}$.

We must then set up equations using the Pythagorean Theorem, writing everything in terms of $a$, $b$, and $c$. Looking at right triangle $AEC$ we get \[324 + \frac{(a + c)^2}{4} = \frac{9}{4} b^2\] Looking at right triangle $AED$ we get \[b^2 - 324 = \frac{(c-a)^2}{4}\] Now rearranging and solving, we get two equation \[a+c = 3\sqrt{b^2 - 144}\] \[c - a = 2\sqrt{b^2 - 324}\] Those are convenient equations as $c+a - (c-a) = 2a = \frac{5}{3} b$ which gives us \[3\sqrt{b^2 - 324} - 2\sqrt{b^2 - 324} = \frac{5}{3} b\] After some "smart" calculation, we get that $b = \frac{27}{\sqrt{2}}$.

Notice that the question asks for $K\sqrt{2}$, and $K = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 18 \cdot (a+c)$ by applying the trapezoid area formula. Fortunately, this is just $27\sqrt{b^2 - 144}$, and plugging in the value of $b = \frac{27}{\sqrt{2}}$, we get that $K\sqrt{2} = \boxed{567}$.

Solution 2 (LOC and Trig)

Call AD and BC $a$. Draw diagonal AC and call the foot of the perpendicular from B to AC $G$. Call the foot of the perpendicular from A to line BC F, and call the foot of the perpendicular from A to DC H. Triangles CBG and CAF are similar, and we get that $\frac{10}{15}=\frac{a}{AC}$ Therefore, $AC=1.5a$. It then follows that triangles ABF and ADH are similar. Using similar triangles, we can then find that $AB=\frac{5}{6}a$. Using the Law of Cosine on ABC, We can find that the cosine of angle ABC is $-\frac{1}{3}$. Since angles ABF and ADH are equivalent and supplementary to angle ABC, we know that the cosine of angle ADH is 1/3. It then follows that $a=\frac{27\sqrt{2}}{2}$. Then it can be found that the area $K$ is $\frac{567\sqrt{2}}{2}$. Multiplying this by $\sqrt{2}$, the answer is $\boxed{567}$. -happykeeper

Solution 3 (Similarity)

Let the foot of the altitude from A to BC be P, to CD be Q, and to BD be R.

Note that all isosceles trapezoids are cyclic quadrilaterals; thus, $A$ is on the circumcircle of $\triangle BCD$ and we have that $PRQ$ is the Simson Line from $A$. As $\angle QAB = 90^\circ$, we have that $\angle QAR = 90^\circ - \angle RAB =\angle ABR = \angle APR = \angle APQ$, with the last equality coming from cyclic quadrilateral $APBR$. Thus, $\triangle QAR \sim \triangle QPA$ and we have that $\frac{AQ}{AR} = \frac{PQ}{PA}$ or that $\frac{18}{10} = \frac{QP}{15}$, which we can see gives us that $QP = 27$. Further ratios using the same similar triangles gives that $QR = \frac{25}{3}$ and $RP = \frac{56}{3}$.

We also see that quadrilaterals $APBR$ and $ARDQ$ are both cyclic, with diameters of the circumcircles being $AB$ and $AQ$ respectively. The intersection of the circumcircles are the points $A$ and $R$, and we know $DRB$ and $QRP$ are both line segments passing through an intersection of the two circles with one endpoint on each circle. By Fact 5, we know then that there exists a spiral similarity with center A taking $\triangle APQ$ to $\triangle APD$. Because we know a lot about $\triangle APQ$ but very little about $\triangle APD$ and we would like to know more, we wish to find the ratio of similitude between the two triangles.

To do this, we use the one number we have for $\triangle APD$: we know that the altitude from $A$ to $BD$ has length 10. As the two triangles are similar, if we can find the height from $A$ to $PQ$, we can take the ratio of the two heights as the ratio of similitude. To do this, we once again note that $QP = 27$. Using this, we can drop the altitude from $A$ to $QP$ and let it intersect $QP$ at $H$. Then, let $QH = x$ and thus $HP=27-x$. We then have by the Pythagorean Theorem on $\triangle AQH$ and $\triangle APH$: \[15^2 - x^2 = 18^2 - (27-x)^2\] \[225 - x^2 = 324 - (x^2-54x+729)\] \[54x = 630\] \[x=\frac{35}{3}\]

Then, $RH = QH - QR = \frac{35}{3} - \frac{25}{3} = \frac{10}{3}$. This gives us then from right triangle $\triangle ARH$ that $AH = \frac{20\sqrt{2}}{3}$ and thus the ratio of $\triangle APQ$ to $\triangle ABD$ is $\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{4}$. From this, we see then that \[AB = AP * \frac{3\sqrt{2}}{4} = 15 * \frac{3\sqrt{2}}{4} = \frac{45\sqrt{2}}{4}\] and \[AD = AQ * \frac{3\sqrt{2}}{4} = 18 * \frac{3\sqrt{2}}{4} = \frac{27\sqrt{2}}{2}\] The Pythagorean Theorem on $\triangle AQD$ then gives that \[QD = \sqrt{AD^2 - AQ^2} = \sqrt{(\frac{27\sqrt{2}}{2})^2 - 18^2} = \sqrt{\frac{81}{2}} = \frac{9\sqrt{2}}{2}\]

Then, we have the height of trapezoid $ABCD$ is $AQ = 18$, the top base is $AB = \frac{45\sqrt{2}}{4}$, and the bottom base is $CD = \frac{45\sqrt{2}}{4} + 2*\frac{9\sqrt{2}}{2}$. From the equation of a trapezoid, $K = \frac{b_1+b_2}{2} h = \frac{63\sqrt{2}}{4} * 18 = \frac{567\sqrt{2}}{2}$, so the answer is $K\sqrt{2} = \boxed{567}$.

Solution 4 (Cool Solution by advanture)

First, draw the diagram. Then, notice that since $ABCD$ is isosceles, $\Delta ABD \cong \Delta BAC$, and the length of the altitude from $B$ to $AC$ is also $10$. Let the foot of this altitude be $F$, and let the foot of the altitude from $A$ to $BC$ be denoted as $E$. Then, $\Delta BCF \sim \Delta ACE$. So, $\frac{BC}{AC} = \frac{BF}{AE} = \frac{2}{3}$. Now, notice that $[ABC] = \frac{10 \times AC} {2} = \frac{AB \times 18}{2} \implies AC = \frac{9 \times AB}{5}$, where $[ABC]$ denotes the area of triangle $ABC$. Letting $AB = x$, this equality becomes $AC = \frac{9x}{5}$. Also, from $\frac{BC}{AC} = \frac{2}{3}$, we have $BC = \frac{6x}{5}$. Now, by the Pythagorean theorem on triangles $ABF$ and $CBF$, we have $AF = \sqrt{x^{2}-100}$ and $CF = \sqrt{ \left( \frac{6x}{5} \right) ^{2}-100}$. Notice that $AC = AF + CF$, so $\frac{9x}{5} = \sqrt{x^{2}-100} + \sqrt{ \left( \frac{6x}{5} \right) ^{2}-100}$. Squaring both sides of the equation once, moving $x^{2}-100$ and $\left( \frac{6x}{5} \right) ^{2}-100$ to the right, dividing both sides by $2$, and squaring the equation once more, we are left with $\frac{32x^{4}}{25} = 324x^{2}$. Dividing both sides by $x^{2}$ (since we know $x$ is positive), we are left with $\frac{32x^{2}}{25} = 324$. Solving for $x$ gives us $x = \frac{45}{2\sqrt{2}}$.

Now, let the foot of the perpendicular from $A$ to $CD$ be $G$. Then let $DG = y$. Let the foot of the perpendicular from $B$ to $CD$ be $H$. Then, $CH$ is also equal to $y$. Notice that $ABHG$ is a rectangle, so $GH = x$. Now, we have $CG = GH + CH = x + y$. By the Pythagorean theorem applied to $\Delta AGC$, we have $(x+y)^{2}+18^{2}= \left( \frac{9x}{5} \right) ^{2}$. We know that $\frac{9x}{5} = \frac{9}{5} \cdot \frac{45}{2\sqrt{2}} = \frac{81}{2\sqrt{2}}$, so we can plug this into this equation. Solving for $x+y$, we get $x+y=\frac{63}{2\sqrt{2}}$.

Finally, to find $[ABCD]$, we use the formula for the area of a trapezoid: $K = [ABCD] = \frac{b_{1}+b_{2}}{2} \cdot h = \frac{AB+CD}{2} \cdot 18 = \frac{x+(CG+DG)}{2} \cdot 18 = \frac{2x+2y}{2} \cdot 18 = (x+y) \cdot 18 = \frac{63}{2\sqrt{2}} \cdot 18 = \frac{567}{\sqrt{2}}$. The problem asks us for $K \cdot \sqrt{2}$, which comes out to be $\boxed{567}$.

Solution 5 (Compact similarity solution)

Let $E,F,$ and $G$ be the feet of the altitudes from $A$ to $BC,CD,$ and $DB$, respectively.

Claim: We have $2$ pairs of similar right triangles: $\triangle AEB \sim \triangle AFD$ and $\triangle AGD \sim \triangle AEC$.

Proof: Note that $ABCD$ is cyclic. We need one more angle, and we get this from this cyclic quad: \[\angle ABE = 180^\circ - \angle ABC =\angle ADC = \angle ADG\] \[\angle ADG = \angle ADB =\angle ACB = \angle ACE \square\]

Let $AD=a$. We obtain from the similarities $AB = \frac{5a}{6}$ and $AC=BD=\frac{3a}{2}$.

By Ptolemy, $(\frac{3a}{2})^2 = a^2 + \frac{5a}{6} \cdot CD$, so $\frac{5a^2}{4} = \frac{5a}{6} \cdot CD$.

We obtain $CD=\frac{3a}{2}$, so $DF=\frac{CD-AB}{2}=\frac{a}{3}$.

Applying the Pythagorean theorem on $\triangle ADF$, we get $324=a^2 - \frac{a^2}{9}=\frac{8a^2}{9}$.

Thus, $a=\frac{27}{\sqrt{2}}$, and $[ABCD]=\frac{AB+CD}{2} \cdot 18 = \frac{\frac{5a}{6} +\frac{9a}{6}}{2} \cdot 18 = 18 \cdot \frac{7}{6} \cdot \frac{27}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{567}{\sqrt{2}}$, yielding $\boxed{567}$.

Solution 6 (Two Variables, Two Equations)

Let $\overline{AE}, \overline{AF},$ and $\overline{AG}$ be the perpendiculars from $A$ to $\overleftrightarrow{BC}, \overleftrightarrow{CD},$ and $\overleftrightarrow{BD},$ respectively. Next, let $H$ be the intersection of $\overline{AF}$ and $\overline{BD}.$

We set $AB=x$ and $AH=y,$ as shown below.

From here, we obtain $HF=18-y$ by segment subtraction, and $BG=\sqrt{x^2-10^2}$ and $HG=\sqrt{y^2-10^2}$ by the Pythagorean Theorem.

Since $\angle ABG$ and $\angle HAG$ are both complementary to $\angle AHB,$ we have $\angle ABG = \angle HAG,$ from which $\triangle ABG \sim \triangle HAG$ by AA. It follows that $\frac{BG}{AG}=\frac{AG}{HG}\implies BG\cdot HG=AG^2,$ or \[\sqrt{x^2-10^2}\cdot\sqrt{y^2-10^2}=10^2. \hspace{10mm} (1)\] Since $\angle AHB = \angle FHD$ by vertical angles, we have $\triangle AHB \sim \triangle FHD$ by AA, with the ratio of similitude $\frac{AH}{FH}=\frac{BA}{DF}.$ It follows that $DF=BA\cdot\frac{FH}{AH}=x\cdot\frac{18-y}{y}.$

Since $\angle EBA = \angle ECD = \angle FDA$ by angle chasing, we have $\triangle EBA \sim \triangle FDA$ by AA, with the ratio of similitude $\frac{EA}{FA}=\frac{BA}{DA}.$ It follows that $DA=BA\cdot\frac{FA}{EA}=x\cdot\frac{18}{15}=\frac{6}{5}x.$

By the Pythagorean Theorem on right $\triangle ADF,$ we have $DF^2+AF^2=AD^2,$ or \[\left(x\cdot\frac{18-y}{y}\right)^2+18^2=\left(\frac{6}{5}x\right)^2. \hspace{7mm} (2)\] Solving this system of equations ($(1)$ and $(2)$), we get $x=\frac{45\sqrt2}{4}$ and $y=\frac{90}{7},$ so $AB=x=\frac{45\sqrt2}{4}$ and $CD=AB+2DF=x+2\left(x\cdot\frac{18-y}{y}\right)=\frac{81\sqrt2}{4}.$ Finally, the area of $ABCD$ is \[K=\frac{AB+CD}{2}\cdot AF=\frac{567\sqrt2}{2},\] from which $\sqrt2 \cdot K=\boxed{567}.$
