The question primarily requires computing the area of a polygon, triangle, or region defined by coordinates, lines, or geometric constraints in the plane.
Let the line $x + y = 1$ meet the axes of $x$ and $y$ at A and B , respectively. 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: (1) 2 (2) $\frac { 5 } { 2 }$ (3) $\frac { 1 } { 2 }$ (4) $\frac { 13 } { 6 }$
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 $\mathbf{PQ}$.

On the coordinate plane, there is a polygonal region $\Gamma$ (including boundary) as shown in the figure. If $k > 0$ , the line $7 x + 2 y = k$ and the two coordinate axes form a triangular region such that the polygonal region $\Gamma$ lies within this triangular region (including boundary), then the minimum positive real number $k =$ (7)(8).
