\n" ); document.write( "There are undoubtedly many different paths to the solution; here is what I came up with.

\n" ); document.write( "AB = AD = 4, so extend DC to H so that ABHD is a square. Extend AF to H, completing diagonal AH of the square. Note triangle FCH is a 45-45-90 right triangle.

\n" ); document.write( "Triangles ABE and HCE are similar; because CH = 2 and AB = 4, the ratio of similarity is 1:2. Then

\n" ); document.write( "\"EH%2FEA+=+1%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"EH%2FAH+=+1%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"AH+=+4%2Asqrt%282%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"EH+=+%281%2F3%29AH+=+%284%2F3%29%2Asqrt%282%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"FH+=+2%2Asqrt%282%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"EF+=+FH-EH+=+%282%2F3%29%2Asqrt%282%29\"
