Answer :

The measure of angle < HEB = 60 degrees.

Given:

if you draw square abcd and extend the sides by equal lengths to form square efgh.

so that the area of abcd is half the area of efgh.

Let AB = x and HA = x

so area of square ABCD = x * x

= x^2

< HEB = 60 so < BHE = 30

EB = y

HE = 2y

HB = x + y

so x + y = [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] y

x = [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] y - y

x = ([tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] - 1 ) y

y = x /  ([tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] - 1 )

squaring on both sides

y^2 =  x^2 /  ([tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] - 1 )^2

= x^2 / 3 - 1

= x^2 / 2

Area of EFGH = (2y)^2 = 4y^2 = 2x^2 = 2 * area of ABCD.

Therefore < HEB = 60 degrees.
