AMC 12 2023a Problem 9

A square of area $2$ is inscribed in a square of area $3$, creating four congruent triangles, as shown below. What is the ratio of the shorter leg to the longer leg in the shaded right triangle?

size(200);
defaultpen(linewidth(0.6pt)+fontsize(10pt));
real y = sqrt(3);
pair A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H;
A = (0,0);
B = (0,y);
C = (y,y);
D = (y,0);
E = ((y + 1)/2,y);
F = (y, (y - 1)/2);
G = ((y - 1)/2, 0);
H = (0,(y + 1)/2);
fill(H--B--E--cycle, gray);
draw(A--B--C--D--cycle);
draw(E--F--G--H--cycle);

$\textbf{(A) }\frac15 \textbf{(B) }\frac14 \textbf{(C) }2-\sqrt3 \textbf{(D) }\sqrt3-\sqrt2 \textbf{(E) }\sqrt2-1$
