ReplyDelete1. In triangle BFD with median FO we have
BF^2+FD^2=2(BO^2+FO^2)
replace BF= a/sqrt(2), FD= a, BO= a/sqrt(2) in above
we get FO= a/2
Circles centered A ,B, C and D have symmetry axis Ox so OE=OF’
Circles centered B and D have symmetry axis BD so OF=OF’ => OE=OF= a/2
2. Due to symmetric property as shown above we have triangles OFC congruent to OF’A and OEB ( case ASA)
Triangle OEB is the image of OFC in the rotational transformation centered O , rotational angle = 90
so angle ( EOF)=90
3. Area S1= ½. a/2 . a/2= a^2/8= S/8
