  • Paper
  • Answer

Let ABCDEABCDE be a nonconvex pentagon with internal angles ∠A=∠E=90∘\angle A = \angle E = 90^\circ and ∠B=∠D=45∘\angle B = \angle D = 45^\circ. Suppose that DE<ABDE < AB, AE=20AE = 20, BC=142BC = 14\sqrt2, and points BB, CC, and DD lie on the same side of line AEAE. Suppose further that ABAB is an integer with AB<2026AB < 2026 and the area of pentagon ABCDEABCDE is an integer multiple of 1616. Find the number of possible values of ABAB.
