Try this beautiful problem from the American Invitational Mathematics Examination I, AIME I, 2011 based on Rectangles and sides.
In rectangle ABCD, AB=12 and BC=10 points E and F are inside rectangle ABCD so that BE=9 and DF=8, BE parallel to DF and EF parallel to AB and line BE intersects segment AD. The length EF can be expressed in theorem \(m n^\frac{1}{2}-p\) where m , n and p are positive integers and n is not divisible by the square of any prime, find m+n+p.
Parallelograms
Rectangles
Side Length
Answer: is 36.
AIME I, 2011, Question 2
Geometry Vol I to IV by Hall and Stevens
here extending lines BE and CD meet at point G and drawing altitude GH from point G by line BA extended till H GE=DF=8 GB=17
In a right triangle GHB, GH=10 GB=17 by Pythagorus thorem, HB=(\({{17}^{2}-{10}^{2}})^\frac{1}{2}\)=\(3({21})^\frac{1}{2}\)
HA=EF=\(3({21})^\frac{1}{2}-12\) then 3+21+12=36.
