The manufacturer of padlocks of the brand ``K'' wishes to print a logo for his company. This logo has the shape of a stylized capital letter K, inscribed in a square ABCD, with side length one unit of length, and respecting the following conditions C1 and C2:
  • Condition C1: the letter K must consist of three lines:
  • one of the lines is the segment $[AD]$;
  • a second line has endpoints at point A and a point E on segment $[DC]$;
  • the third line has endpoint at point B and a point G located on the second line.
  • Condition C2: the area of each of the three surfaces delimited by the three lines drawn in the square must be between 0.3 and 0.4, with the unit of area being that of the square. These areas are denoted $r$, $s$, $t$.

We place ourselves in the orthonormal coordinate system $(A; \overrightarrow{AB}, \overrightarrow{AD})$.
Part A: study of Proposal A
In this proposal, the three lines are segments and the three areas are equal: $r = s = t = \frac{1}{3}$. Determine the coordinates of points E and G.

Let $m$ be a real number. On a plane with the coordinate system, in which the origin is denoted by O, consider the parabola $y = x^2$ and the two points on it,
$$\mathrm{A}(a,\, ma+1), \quad \mathrm{B}(b,\, mb+1) \quad (a < 0 < b)$$
(1) The $x$-coordinates $a$ and $b$ of the two points A and B can be expressed in terms of $m$ as
$$a = \frac{m - \sqrt{D}}{\mathbf{A}}, \quad b = \frac{m + \sqrt{D}}{\mathbf{B}},$$
where the expression $D$ is
$$D = m^2 + \mathbf{C}.$$
(2) Let the coordinates of the point of intersection of the segment AB and the $y$-axis be denoted by $(0, c)$. Then $c = \mathbf{D}$.
(3) Further, when the area $S$ of the triangle OAB with the three vertices O, A and B is expressed in terms of $a$ and $b$, we have
$$S = \frac{1}{2}\mathbf{E},$$
where $E$ is the appropriate choice from among (0) $\sim$ (5). (0) $a + b$
(1) $a - b$
(2) $b - a$
(3) $a^2 + b^2$
(4) $a^2 - b^2$
(5) $b^2 - a^2$
Also, when $S$ is represented in terms of $m$, we have
$$S = \frac{\mathbf{F}}{\mathbf{G}} \sqrt{m^2 + \mathbf{H}}.$$
Hence the value of $S$ is minimalized when $m = \mathbf{I}$, and its minimum value is $S = \mathbf{J}$.

Consider a figure made by cutting two corners from a rectangle, as in the diagram to the right. The lengths of the sides are
$$\begin{array}{lll} \mathrm{AB} = 11, & \mathrm{BC} = 4, & \mathrm{CD} = 2\sqrt{13} \\ \mathrm{DE} = 5, & \mathrm{EF} = 2\sqrt{5}, & \mathrm{FA} = 6 \end{array}$$
We are to find the area of this figure.
First, extend the sides of the figure as in the diagram and denote the sides forming the right angles by $x, y, u$ and $v$. Then
$$u = \mathbf{A} - y, \quad v = x + \mathbf{B}.$$
Substituting these expressions in the equation $u^2 + v^2 = \mathbf{CD}$ and also using the equation $x^2 + y^2 = \mathbf{EF}$, we obtain
$$x = \mathbf{G}.\, y - \mathbf{H}.$$
Then, since
$$\mathbf{I}y^2 - \mathbf{J} = \mathbf{J}y - \mathbf{K} = 0,$$
we obtain $y = \mathbf{L}$.
From this we have $x = \mathbf{M}$, and further $u = \mathbf{N}$ and $v = \mathbf{O}$. Finally we conclude that the area of this figure is $\mathbf{PQ}$.
