Don't you just use pythag theorem for AE, then pythag theorem again for EF?

edit: oh yeah lmao its an isosceles triangle and 1/2 of it is 5 so it's just 10 lmao

1st triangle hypotenuse is sqrt(50) which is also side length of 2nd

So 2nd has hypotenuse sqrt100 or just 10

I good to figure this out without doing using Pythagorean identities is to look at this is with a little bit of geometry. Key things to notice are the 5 cm side lengths. AB and ED are both 5 cm, and the dotted line indicates that point D is the midpoint between CE. If one side of the midpoint is 5 cm, that means the other side is, so CD is also 5 cm. This shows that ABCD is a perfect square. Now figuring out EF is a little trickier, but visually we can see that point A is 5 cm above the line CE, and also makes a right angle with points F and E. We're given angle values, and both of these are 45 degrees. This means that if you drew a straight line from A to the middle of EF, the two triangles created are symmetrical. If one of these sides we know is the same length as AD, then the other must be as well. So we get 2 x 5cm, or 10 cm.

I'm not sure why you all can't count but it's 80/81/81 digits.
I don't think that's the smallest solution either, just one that was relatively easy to find.

Either way there are two ways to solve it. The proper way involves a lot of number theory, the quick and dirty way still requires you to be smart about it and probably a computer to brute force a part of it because of the numbers involved.
Essentially it is easy to get any solution, fairly easy to get one with positive numbers and incredibly easy to get one with whole numbers from one with rational numbers (just multiply all 3 numbers with all 3 denominators). Getting a positive and rational solution takes some fiddling though, either via brute force with numbers that a standard calculator won't like or a deep enough understanding of number theory.

toads_tfnegative area square?

negative area makes sense if you consider it as the "area under a function" (so a defined integral of a function)
and you could just handwave it anyways.

This looks like a "find the overlapping area of three circles" question. It's extremely tedious, but pretty braindead with a symbolic calculator

Here's a very rough outline of how to find A3 (not wasting any more time on this):

Show Content
let's start with an A_s (assuming it's the outer square) of 1 and multiply by the actual A_s at the very end
https://i.imgur.com/2GSGwQ1.png
I guessed that the vague curves are sections of circle with center at a corner of the large square and radius the same as the square's side length
https://i.imgur.com/qny2VWS.png
the program gives the equations for the circles easily
https://i.imgur.com/mzP36RE.png
change the relevant half of the circle into a y=f(x) format
https://i.imgur.com/y15qo1k.png
https://i.imgur.com/53bLMWX.png
find the intersections of the relevant curves, and use them as the bounds of the defined integrals..
https://i.imgur.com/VqDoIGT.png
and just smack the integrals into a calculator, and you add them all together:

+ integral_(3/8 - sqrt(7)/8)^(1 - sqrt(3)/2) (sqrt(2 x - x^2) dx

- integral_(3/8 - sqrt(7)/8)^(1 - sqrt(3)/2) (sqrt(2 x - x^2) + 1/2 (-1 + 2 sqrt(x - x^2))) dx

+ integral_(1 - sqrt(3)/2)^(5/8 - sqrt(7)/8) 1/2 (1 - 2 sqrt(x - x^2)) dx

- integral_(1 - sqrt(3)/2)^(5/8 - sqrt(7)/8) 1/2 (1 - 2 sqrt(x - x^2)) dx

+ integral_(5/8 - sqrt(7)/8)^(1/2) (1 - sqrt(2 x - x^2)) dx

- integral_(5/8 - sqrt(7)/8)^(1/2) (1 - sqrt(1 - x^2)) dx
and multiply the result by the side length
and the final answer for A3 (unless I made mistakes....)

surprise, it's a massive clusterfuck:
(-47)*(9/64 - sqrt(3)/8 - (5 π)/12 + tan^(-1)(4 + sqrt(7)) + 1/64 (-17 + 16 sqrt(3) - 4 sqrt(7) - 8 sqrt(14 sqrt(3) - 24) - 16 sin^(-1)(3^(1/4)/sqrt(2)) + 16 csc^(-1)((2 sqrt(5 - sqrt(7)))/3)) + (1/64 (sqrt(321 + 48 sqrt(7) - 48 sqrt(43 + 16 sqrt(7))) + 8 (-3 + 4 sqrt(3) - sqrt(7) + 8 cot^(-1)(3/sqrt(31 + 8 sqrt(7))))) - (5 π)/12) - (1/64 (-9 + 16 sqrt(3) - 4 sqrt(7) - 8 sqrt(14 sqrt(3) - 24) - 16 sin^(-1)(3^(1/4)/sqrt(2)) + 16 csc^(-1)(2 sqrt(3 - sqrt(7))))) + (-1/64 sqrt(321 + 48 sqrt(7) - 48 sqrt(43 + 16 sqrt(7))) + π/3 + 1/8 (-1 + sqrt(7) - 8 cot^(-1)(3/sqrt(31 + 8 sqrt(7))))) - (1/192 (3 - 24 sqrt(3) + 24 sqrt(7) + 32 π - 96 cos^(-1)(1/8 (5 - sqrt(7))))))

= ~0.036566432691702221271670 - 0.019630731925696712432468 + 0.061918112844524846486709 - 0.0150274870976263361702352 + 0.04230790314076436373846 - 0.0173897792991522791591702

= 0.0887444503545161037349656 * (-47)
= ~-4.1709891666622568755433832..

and then just do that two more times for the final answer. It's not going to get much shorter.
Of course the question is pretty vague so this could be the solution to the wrong problem.
