    OE meet DF at P, extend DF, draw from G // OE, S intersection
    => OPSG is a rectangle

    Draw points L, K per sketch
    Note that triangle OKD is a right isosceles triangle
    And Triangle CLD congruent to DKE ( case ASA)
    S(CKD)+ S(DKE)=1/2.DK(CL+KE)= ½.OK.(CO)= S( COK)
    So red areas= yellow area

    Let AE=x and AP=x1

    Area of Yellow region = (x-2x1)*x/2 ----------(1)
    Area of the Octagon = 4*S(ABH)+S(BDFH)= (x-2x1)x --------(2)

    From (1) and (2) It can be observed that Area of yellow region is half of Area of Octagon
    Q.E.D
