Solution 1
We know that the perimeters of the two small triangles are 3+CD+AD and 4+BD+AD. Setting both equal and using BD+CD = 5, we have BD = 2 and CD = 3. Now, we simply have to find the area of . Since , we must have . Combining this with the fact that , we get .
Since is 1 less than , must be 1 more than to equate the perimeter. Hence, , so . Therefore, the area of is . Letting point be (0,0) we get point to be (4,0) and point to be (0,3). The line has a slope of and it has intercepts the y-axis at (0,3) so the equation for line is . Using the same methods from and you can find out that is 3. The equation of a circle centered at (0,3) with radius 3 is . Plugging in you get . Simplifying it you get . Multiplying it my 16 and adding you get which becomes x=12/5 after solving for the positive answer. You can then plug in x=12/5 back into the slope intercept equation and you get which becomes y=6/5. Letting that be the height you can see that the base is 4 so the area is . Which becomes .
