  • Answer

On square ABCDABCD, points E,F,GE,F,G, and HH lie on sides AB‾,BC‾,CD‾,\overline{AB},\overline{BC},\overline{CD}, and DA‾,\overline{DA}, respectively, so that EG‾⊥FH‾\overline{EG} \perp \overline{FH} and EG=FH=34EG=FH = 34. Segments EG‾\overline{EG} and FH‾\overline{FH} intersect at a point PP, and the areas of the quadrilaterals AEPH,BFPE,CGPF,AEPH, BFPE, CGPF, and DHPGDHPG are in the ratio 269:275:405:411.269:275:405:411. Find the area of square ABCDABCD. [asy] pair A = (0,sqrt(850)); pair B = (0,0); pair C = (sqrt(850),0); pair D = (sqrt(850),sqrt(850)); draw(A--B--C--D--cycle); dotfactor = 3; dot("AA",A,dir(135)); dot("BB",B,dir(215)); dot("CC",C,dir(305)); dot("DD",D,dir(45)); pair H = ((2sqrt(850)-sqrt(306))/6,sqrt(850)); pair F = ((2sqrt(850)+sqrt(306)+7)/6,0); dot("HH",H,dir(90)); dot("FF",F,dir(270)); draw(H--F); pair E = (0,(sqrt(850)-6)/2); pair G = (sqrt(850),(sqrt(850)+sqrt(100))/2); dot("EE",E,dir(180)); dot("GG",G,dir(0)); draw(E--G); pair P = extension(H,F,E,G); dot("PP",P,dir(60)); label("ww", intersectionpoint( A--P, E--H )); label("xx", intersectionpoint( B--P, E--F )); label("yy", intersectionpoint( C--P, G--F )); label("zz", intersectionpoint( D--P, G--H ));[/asy]
