Problem
In 
points 
and 
lie on 
so that 
, while points 
and 
lie on 
so that 
. Suppose 
, 
, 
, 
, 
, and 
. Let 
be the reflection of through , and let 
be the reflection of through . The area of quadrilateral 
is 
. Find the area of heptagon 
, as shown in the figure below.
![[asy] unitsize(14); pair A = (0, 9), B = (-6, 0), C = (12, 0), D = (5A + 2B)/7, E = (2A + 5B)/7, F = (5A + 2C)/7, G = (2A + 5C)/7, M = 2F - D, N = 2E - G; filldraw(A--F--N--B--C--E--M--cycle, lightgray); draw(A--B--C--cycle); draw(D--M); draw(N--G); dot(A); dot(B); dot(C); dot(D); dot(E); dot(F); dot(G); dot(M); dot(N); label("$A$", A, dir(90)); label("$B$", B, dir(225)); label("$C$", C, dir(315)); label("$D$", D, dir(135)); label("$E$", E, dir(135)); label("$F$", F, dir(45)); label("$G$", G, dir(45)); label("$M$", M, dir(45)); label("$N$", N, dir(135)); [/asy]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/6/4/b/64b0d84a95e0388e37622b54a251d836088fd97c.png)
Solution 1
Note that the triangles outside have the same height as the unshaded triangles in . Since they have the same bases, the area of the heptagon is the same as the area of triangle 
. Therefore, we need to calculate the area of . Denote the length of 
as 
and the altitude of 
to as 
. Since 
, 
and the altitude of 
is 
. The area ![$[DFGE] = \frac{5x + x}{2} \cdot 4h = 3x \cdot 4h = 12xh = 288 \implies xh = 24$](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/e/e/0/ee06844651656c7d34bda87a3fdb8f440ce455ad.png)
. The area of is equal to 
.
