    The barrier students must overcome is that there are not enough equations to solve for a and b. PreMath was able to narrow it down to one equation and 2 unknowns (a and b). However, we only need to know the product of a and b to find the area of the white triangle, not the individual values of a and b. One solution approach would be to find the area of the white triangle for the special case of ABCD being a square. Then, letting s be the side of the square, a = b = s and you have one equation with one unknown. The problem statement does not rule out a square. So, you solve, get a value for s² and subtract the combined area of the red, green and blue triangles to get the area of the white triangle. The problem statement implies that the same solution applies to the general case of the rectangle, so you present that as your solution.
    If the problem statement is modified to require students to solve ABCD being the general case of a rectangle, students are effectively given a clue that the solution is valid for a range of values of a and b, in this case, whenever the product ab equals 18 + 2√(51).

    Let AD=BC=a ; AB=CD=b
    Area of rectangle ABCD=ab
    CF=12/a ; AF=10/b
    DE=AD-AE=a-10/b
    DF=CD-BF=b-12/a
    Area of triangle DEF=1/2(DE)(DF)=1/2(a-10/b)(b-12/a)=1/2ab(ab-10)(ab-12)=7
    (ab-10)(ab-12)=14ab
    ab=18+2√51=32.28cm^2
    White triangle area=32.28-(5+6+7)=14.28 cm^2.❤❤❤ Thanks sir Best regards.

    Nice! I finsihed this one very quickly ⏰! I think what maybe made a lot of people fail to do this puzzle is labelling all the sides of the triangles with different variables instead of writing the height out in terms of the base, since you are given the area. Its a common pattern i have seen in other problems on your channel!

      Un error pequeño: en lugar de (10-a)/14=a=(12-a) debe ser (10-a)/14=a/(12-a). But it's clear anyway (sorry my Spanish is far from perfect). Excellent solution. I was looking for something like that, but failed to complete.

    2sqrt51
    calling B the base of rectangle, H its height, FC = x, AE = y we can write:
    x*H = 12
    y*B = 10
    (B - x)*(H - y) = 14 => BH - xH - yB + xy = 14
    BH = 36 - xy
    Now we can divide the rectangle in 4 smaller rectangles in which the upper right rectangle has area = xy, then tracing perpendicular to base and height. Calling xy=a we can calculate the areas of each rectangles as:
    10 - a | a
    _____________
    14 | 12 - a
    doing the crossed product we have:
    14 a = (10-a)*(12-a)
    a² - 36a + 120 = 0
    a = 18 - 2sqrt51 = xy
    BH = 36 - (18 - 2sqrt51) = 18 + 2sqrt51
    White area = 18 + 2sqrt51 - 5 - 7 - 6 = 2sqrt51

    AE=bp => DE = b(p-1). Also DF=aq => CF=a(1-q). So we have abp=10; ab(1-q)=12; ab(1-p)q=14. But ab=s - the area of rectangle. So p=10/s => 1-p=1-10s=(s-10)/s and 1-q=12/s => q = (s-12)/s. Thus from third equation (s-10)(s-12)/s² = 14/s with leads to quadratic equation s²-36s+120=0. The rest is clear.

      Well, that motivation must be in the solution for it to pass the test.
      But you have DF = a - 12/b, which means that a > 12/b and therefore ab > 12 (likewise for ED, but only ab > 10). So 18 - 2 * sqrt(51) must be greater than 12 -- it is slightly less than 4, so dismisst. QED.

    1) Let's baptize things!
    2) x = 5 sq cm
    3) y = 6 sq cm
    4) z = 7 sq cm
    5) Fortunately we have a General Formula for these cases : White Area = "sqrt((x + y + z)^2 - 4xy)"
    6) WA = sqrt((18)^2 - 4*(30)) ; WA = sqrt(324 - 120) ; WA = sqrt(204)sq cm ; WA = (2*sqrt(51)) sq cm ; WA ~ 14,3 sq cm
    7) Final Answer : The Area of the White Square is equal to approx. 14,3 Square Cm.
    NOTE: I reach to the conclusion that the Domain of the Solution (White Area) should be somewhere between : 8 sq cm < WA < 16 sq cm.
    The Total of Possible Ordered Pairs (X ; Y) of Integer Solutions is : S {(18 ; 0) ; (20 ; 2) ; (22 ; 4) ; (24 ; 6) ; (26 ; 8) ; (28 ; 10) ; (30 ; 12) ; (32 ; 14) ; (34 ; 16) ; (36 ; 18)}
    X = Area of Rectangle [ABCD] and Y = Area of White Triangle [BEF]. And X - Y = X - (5 + 6 + 7) sq cm ; X - Y = 18 sq cm. The difference must always be 18 sq cm.

    The area R of the whole rectangle is:
    R = AB*AE+ DE*DF + BC*CF - AE*FC
    = 10 + 14 + 12 - AE*FC (1)
    Since AE = 10/AB and FC = 12/BC, we get AE*FC = 120/(AB * BC) = 120/R
    Plugging this into (1) we get:
    R = 36 - 120/R
    R^2 - 36R + 120 = 0
    This quadratic equation yields R = 18 + 2*sqrt(51)
    Now our answer = 18 + 2*sqrt(51) - 5 - 7 - 6 = 2*sqrt(51)
