A right angled triangle AMN is inscribed in the triangle OAB , where O is the origin and the points M and N lie on the lines $O B$ and $A B$, respectively. If the area of the triangle $A M N$ is $\frac { 4 } { 9 }$ of the area of the triangle $O A B$ and $\mathrm { AN } : \mathrm { NB } = \lambda : 1$, then the sum of all possible value(s) of $\lambda$ is:

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 $\mathbf{PQ}$.
