Easier way: let r = circle's radius. Construct radius OF. For 2 right triangles, ADO & ADC, use Pythagorean formula to calculate (& set equal) side AD. Let X = DO r² - X² = 5² - (r + X)². r² & X² cancel out giving 2r² + 2X² = 25. Area ABCD = r(r + X). r² + rX = 25/2. r(r + X) = area = 25/2.
Thank you for another nice Geometry problem Letting BC = r, noticing that r also equals 1/2 × EC , and that FD^2 +DC^2 =25 If angle DCF = arctan (t ) , then t^2 = FD^2/ DC^2 With EO= OC = r , there is also an isosceles triangle FOC with angle FOC = 180 degrees - 2× angle DCF In FOC , the cosine rule gives: cos(FOC) = (2×r^2-25)/ (2×r×r) = 1- 25/ (2×r×r) cos (2A)== 2 cos^2 (A) - 1 so 2cos^2 (DCF) - 1 = 1 - 25/(2×r×r) so cos^ 2 (DCF) = 1/2(2 - 25/(2×r×r) = 1 - (25 /(4×r×r)) sin^2 (DCF) = 25/(4×r×r) * so sin (DCF) = 5/(2r) and sin (DCF) = FD/5 2 r= 25/ FD Drawing FE to form a right-angled triangle on EC gives cos(ECF) = 5/2r * Putting these together sin (DCF) = cos (DCF ) so FD=DC =r *Now, one of the starred equations is wrong, because in the diagram, F is on AD and not on AB. so now I will watch the video and read comments .

The method is clear but very long drawn out explanation with too many now etc and gulps . Between TH-cam ads and the explanation I had to watch it twice before it was clear what was happening.

youtube compensation is tied to video length, and hence this prolonging. you can solve this problem without trigonometry. Consider the △FEC, which is a right-triangle (because ∠EFC is 90° by virtue of being inscribed in a semicircle). We know that an altitude (such as FD) of a right-triangle divides the triangle into similar triangles. i.e., △CFD ~ △CEF Thus, CF/CE=CD/CF i.e., CF²=CE.CD 5²=CE.CD -- (i) But CE=diameter of semi-circle=2*BC (Because BC=AD=radius of circle, as from diagram) Thus, from (i), we get: 5²=(2*BC).CD => BC.CD=5²/2=25/2 But BC.CD is the area of rectangle. i.e., Area=25/2 square units.
The triangle FCE is a right triangle, so CD * CE = CF², i.e. 2AD * CD = 25, so AD * CD = 25/2, which is the area of the rectangle.

r² - X² = 5² - (r + X)². r² & X² cancel out giving 2r² + 2X² = 25. Area ABCD = r(r + X).

Letting BC = r, noticing that r also equals 1/2 × EC , and that FD^2 +DC^2 =25
If angle DCF = arctan (t ) , then t^2 = FD^2/ DC^2
With EO= OC = r , there is also an isosceles triangle FOC with angle FOC = 180 degrees - 2× angle DCF
In FOC , the cosine rule gives: cos(FOC) = (2×r^2-25)/ (2×r×r) = 1- 25/ (2×r×r)
cos (2A)== 2 cos^2 (A) - 1 so 2cos^2 (DCF) - 1 = 1 - 25/(2×r×r) so cos^ 2 (DCF) = 1/2(2 - 25/(2×r×r) = 1 - (25 /(4×r×r))
sin^2 (DCF) = 25/(4×r×r) * so sin (DCF) = 5/(2r) and sin (DCF) = FD/5
2 r= 25/ FD
Drawing FE to form a right-angled triangle on EC gives cos(ECF) = 5/2r * Putting these together sin (DCF) = cos (DCF ) so FD=DC =r
*Now, one of the starred equations is wrong, because in the diagram, F is on AD and not on AB.
so now I will watch the video and read comments .
Interestingly: the area would be squarey and would still be 25/2 if PC were equal to 5, and, in that problem, r would be 5/ (2^(1/2)).
AD=r, radius of semicircle
Put AB = a, DF = h
In triangle CDF
h^2 + a^2 = 5^2
OF = a - r
In triangle OFD
h^2 + (a-r)^2 = r^2
h^2 + a^2 - 2ar + r^2 = r^2
h^2 + a^2 = 2ar
2ar = 5^2
Area ABCD = ar = 25/2
I like doing it without trigonometry. Use the fact that triangles DEF and DFC are similar.
Let ∠FCD=θ. AB=CD=5cosθ…(1).
If BC=X, then X is equal to the radius of the circle. If E and F are connected, ⊿FEC becomes a right triangle, so ECcosθ=FC=5. Since EC=2X, FC=5, 2Xcosθ=5. ∴X=5/(2cosθ)…(2)
The area S of rectangle ABCD is S=AB×BC, so according to (1) and (2), S=(5cosθ)×(5/2cosθ)=25/2…(Answer)

This can solve sometimes easily selecting the CD=r or CD=2r case.
We join E & F
cos t = 5/ 2 r , cost = CD/5 , t is angle between diameter and CF
2 r CD = 25
area = 25/2 sq units
12.5
Brought back the old outro music! 👍👍
A = ½5² = 12,5 cm² ( Solved √ )
Can we find radius ?
Cannot. Problem does not constrain radius, but area is constrained!

We know that an altitude (such as FD) of a right-triangle divides the triangle into similar triangles.
i.e., △CFD ~ △CEF
Thus, CF/CE=CD/CF
i.e., CF²=CE.CD
5²=CE.CD -- (i)
But CE=diameter of semi-circle=2*BC (Because BC=AD=radius of circle, as from diagram)
Thus, from (i), we get: 5²=(2*BC).CD => BC.CD=5²/2=25/2
But BC.CD is the area of rectangle.
i.e., Area=25/2 square units.
