Let s be the sidelength of the original square, m and n the numbers of white and green rectangles W1,W2,…,Wm and G1,G2,…,Gn, respectively, ai and bi the width and height of the white rectangle Wi, respectively, for i=1,2,…,m, and cj and dj the width and height of the green rectangle Gj, respectively, for j=1,2,…,n.
The total area of the white rectangles and the total area of the green rectangles satisfy
a1b1+a2b2+⋯+ambm=c1d1+c2d2+⋯+cndn=2s2
We have
S=b1a1+b2a2+⋯+bmam+c1d1+c2d2+⋯+cndn=a1b1a12+a2b2a22+⋯+ambmam2+c1d1d12+c2d2d22+⋯+cndndn2≥2s2(a1+a2+⋯+am)2+2s2(d1+d2+⋯+dn)2
by Cauchy-Schwarz inequality.
Assume that a1+a2+⋯+am<2s. Because bi≤s, for i=1,2,…,m, we have
2s2=a1b1+a2b2+⋯+ambm≤(a1+a2+⋯+am)s<2s2,
which is a contradiction. Therefore a1+a2+⋯+am≥2s and, similarly, d1+d2+⋯+dn≥2s.
Now assume that a1+a2+⋯+am<s. There exists a vertical line L crossing the original square and not intersecting any of the white rectangles. Therefore, the sum of the heights of the green rectangles intersecting L is greater than or equal to s. Hence, either a1+a2+⋯+am≥s or d1+d2+⋯+dn≥s.
We deduce that
S≥s22(s2+(2s)2)=25
If Turki divides the square into two horizontal rectangles of the same area then S=12+21=25. Thus the minimum possible value of S is 25.
