Question 1012465: ABCD is a square of unit length. Points E and F are on the sides AB and AD respectively such that AE = AF = x.

Hello, I am slightly surprised.
In my opinion, the area of the quadrilateral CDFE is - , and it is not the same as your formula y = 1/2 (1 + x - x^2).
For the proof that they are not the same, I prepared this plot.
