It appears to be a square, such that Total Area (of square) = I + II + III
Can you define the area relationships for each area?
Area of I = 1/2 bh = 1/2 a(a+b) = (a^2 + ab)/2
Area of III = 1/2 bh = 1/2 d(a+b) = (ad + bd)/2
For II, try dividing it into two separate triangles .... like this to make IIa and IIb
So now Area II = IIa + II b = 1/2 b(a+b) + 1/2 c (*see below for hypot length)
*where the hypot length is expressed in pythroean theorm: hypot^2 = b^2 + (a+b)^2
Also, there's the overall area expression: (a+b)^2 = Area I + Area II + Area III
So after a big mess, I don't know what you want to do with all that as I can't read german lol
Thank you thats enough
