AIME late
Geometry Difficulty 5.0 Find the answer

3. As shown in Figure 1, in a regular hexagon ABCDEFA B C D E F with side length 10, HH is the midpoint of side DED E, and GG is a point on side BCB C such that AGB=CGH\angle A G B = \angle C G H. Then the area of pentagon AFEHGA F E H G is \qquad

Official solution

3. 20532\frac{205 \sqrt{3}}{2}.

As shown in Figure 3, draw a line through point HH parallel to BEB E, intersecting GCG C at point KK.
It is easy to see that KH=15K H=15,
BK=KC=5B K=K C=5.
Let BG=xB G=x. Then
GK=5x G K=5-x \text {. }

Since KGHBGA\triangle K G H \backsim \triangle B G A
KHAB=GKBG1510=5xxx=2,GK=3. \begin{array}{l} \Rightarrow \frac{K H}{A B}=\frac{G K}{B G} \Rightarrow \frac{15}{10}=\frac{5-x}{x} \\ \Rightarrow x=2, G K=3 . \end{array}

Then Shexagon =(10+20)×32×10=1503S_{\text {hexagon }}=(10+20) \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times 10=150 \sqrt{3},
Strapezoid CKHD=12(10+15)×532=12534S_{\text {trapezoid } C K H D}=\frac{1}{2}(10+15) \times \frac{5 \sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{125 \sqrt{3}}{4},
SKGH=12×3×15×32=4534S_{\triangle K G H}=\frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 15 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{45 \sqrt{3}}{4},
SBGA=12×2×10×32=53S_{\triangle B G A}=\frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times 10 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=5 \sqrt{3}.
Thus, Spentagon S_{\text {pentagon }}. AEHGA E H G
=150312534453453=20532. \begin{array}{l} =150 \sqrt{3}-\frac{125 \sqrt{3}}{4}-\frac{45 \sqrt{3}}{4}-5 \sqrt{3} \\ =\frac{205 \sqrt{3}}{2} . \end{array}
