After a long absence from newgrounds, I'm back and have now had enough time to produce another puzzle of the month.
PUZZLE OF THE MONTH A PROBLEM WITH AREAS
The diagram shows a triangle divided into four areas by two lines drawn from the bottom vertices. The numbers show the areas of three of the sections.
What is the area of the top part, marked ?
And can you find other solutions with all four areas being integers?
Solution to me.
Rules of the Competition
The first correct solution to both parts of this problem will be the winner.
Solutions should be presented to me on a comment and should include a full, detailed and clear explanation/proof of your results.
The closing date for entries for this month's competition is 24th august 2008 - no solution will be accepted later than 9 am on this day.
