Rectangle ABCD: Express (X-Y)² Using Side Lengths and Triangle Area S

Given the rectangle ABCD

AB=Y AD=X

The triangular area DEC equals S:

Express the square of the difference of the sides of the rectangle

using X, Y and S:

Since we are given the length and width, we will substitute them according to the formula:

$(AD-AB)^2=(x-y)^2$

$x^2-2xy+y^2$

The height is equal to side AD, meaning both are equal to X

Let's calculate the area of triangle DEC:

$S=\frac{xy}{2}$

$x=\frac{2S}{y}$

$y=\frac{2S}{x}$

$xy=2S$

Let's substitute the given data into the formula above:

$(\frac{2S}{y})^2-2\times2S+(\frac{25}{x})^2$

$\frac{4S^2}{y^2}-4S+\frac{4S^2}{x^2}$

$4S=(\frac{S^2}{y}+\frac{S^2}{x}-1)$
