Well this problem looks simple
First we see by Pythagoras theorem in triangle ADB that BD=10
So We conclude that y+z=10/2=5
Now area of triangle ADB is 24
So 24=21×BD×AE i.e.24=21×10×AE
i.e. AE=1048
So we get what we desire
The diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other. Furthermore, by Pythagorean's theorem, AC=10, so AO=DO=5. Using these same results, we get
y+z=5
x2+z2=25
x2+y2=36
Subtracting the last two equations we get y2−z2=11, so (y−z)(y+z)=11. Substituting the first equation, we get y−z=511. Doing a linear combination with y+z=5 we get 2y=536 so y=518 and z=57. Using one of the equations to find x we get that (x+y+z)2=(549)2=252401, and the greatest integer less than or equal to that is 96.
Motivations in this problem: Nothing really too fancy, just finding what we're given using pythagorean's theorem (which should be obvious given the right angles and side lengths of 6 and 8) and then solving a system of equations.
I thnk answer is 96.04
In triangle ABC = AB^2 + BC^2 = AC^2
64 + 36 = 100
AC = 10
AC = BD = 10
then 2(y+z) = 10
y+z = 5
z = 5-y (1)
AD = BC= 6
then AD^2 = DE2 + AE2
36 = X2 + Y2 (2)
In Triangle AOE and COF
OE = OF
ANGLE AEO = ANGLE CFO
ANGLE AOE = ANGLE COF
TRIANGLE AOE CONGRUENT TO TRIANGLE COF
THEN AO = OC
so AC= 10 then AO = 5
Also In Triangle AOE AO2 = AE2+OE2
25 = x2 + z2 (3)
25 = x2 + (y-5)2
25 = x2 + y2 + 25 - 10y
0 = x2+y2 - 10y(4)
subtracting 4 from 2 we get
10y = 36
y = 3.6
from (1)
we get z = 1.4
putting value of z in 3rd equation we get
25 = x2 + 1.96
x2 = 23.04
x = 4.8
x+y+z = 1.4+3.6+4.8 = 9.8
(x+y+z)2 = (9.8)2 = 96 .04
In triangle ADB, by using Pythagoras theorem, we can say that BD=10.Area of triangle ABD=24=1/2(10)(AE), thus, AE=x=4.8.And as O is the mid-point of BD, DO=z+y=5. Therefore, (x+y+z)^2=(4.8+5)^2=96.04

answer is 96.04 as here BO=5cm and area boc=68/4=12=1/25*x this means x=24/5=4.8 so value=(5+4.8)square=(9.8)square=96.04
