Correct answer: 16

  1. Given side of the rectangle

One side has endpoints A(1,2),B(3,6).A(1,2), \quad B(3,6).A(1,2),B(3,6).

So, AB→=(2,4).\overrightarrow{AB}=(2,4).AB=(2,4). Hence the length of this side is AB=(3−1)2+(6−2)2=4+16=20=25.AB=\sqrt{(3-1)^2+(6-2)^2}=\sqrt{4+16}=\sqrt{20}=2\sqrt{5}.AB=(3−1)2+(6−2)2​=4+16​=20​=25​.

  1. Rectangle inscribed in a circle

A rectangle inscribed in a circle has its diagonals as diameters of the circle. Also, opposite side CDCDCD is parallel and equal to ABABAB.

Let the other side vector be AD→=(p,q)\overrightarrow{AD}=(p,q)AD=(p,q). Since adjacent sides of a rectangle are perpendicular, AB→⋅AD→=0.\overrightarrow{AB}\cdot\overrightarrow{AD}=0.AB⋅AD=0. So, (2,4)\cdot(p,q)=0 \implies 2p+4q=0 \implies p+2q=0. \tag{1}

  1. Use the given diameter line

A diagonal of the rectangle is a diameter of the circumcircle. The given diameter lies on the line 2x−y+4=0.2x-y+4=0.2x−y+4=0.

So one of the diagonals of the rectangle must lie on this line.

Check endpoints:

  • For A(1,2)A(1,2)A(1,2): 2(1)−2+4=4≠02(1)-2+4=4\ne 02(1)−2+4=4=0
  • For B(3,6)B(3,6)B(3,6): 2(3)−6+4=4≠02(3)-6+4=4\ne 02(3)−6+4=4=0

Thus side ABABAB is not on the line, so the diameter line must be along diagonal ACACAC or BDBDBD.

Take diagonal ACACAC. Then C=B+AD→=(3+p,6+q).C=B+\overrightarrow{AD}=(3+p,6+q).C=B+AD=(3+p,6+q). So, AC→=AB→+AD→=(2+p,4+q).\overrightarrow{AC}=\overrightarrow{AB}+\overrightarrow{AD}=(2+p,4+q).AC=AB+AD=(2+p,4+q).

Since diagonal ACACAC lies along the line 2x−y+4=02x-y+4=02x−y+4=0, its direction vector must be parallel to that line.

The line 2x−y+4=0  ⟹  y=2x+42x-y+4=0 \implies y=2x+42x−y+4=0⟹y=2x+4 has direction vector (1,2)(1,2)(1,2).

Hence, (2+p,4+q)=\lambda(1,2). \tag{2}

From (2), 4+q=2(2+p)=4+2p \implies q=2p. \tag{3}

Using (1): p+2q=0.p+2q=0.p+2q=0. Substitute q=2pq=2pq=2p: p+4p=0  ⟹  5p=0  ⟹  p=0,q=0,p+4p=0 \implies 5p=0 \implies p=0, q=0,p+4p=0⟹5p=0⟹p=0,q=0, which is impossible for a rectangle.

So ACACAC is not the diameter on the given line.

  1. Take the other diagonal BDBDBD on the given line

Now, D=A+AD→=(1+p,2+q).D=A+\overrightarrow{AD}=(1+p,2+q).D=A+AD=(1+p,2+q). Thus, BD→=D→−B→=(p−2,q−4).\overrightarrow{BD}=\overrightarrow{D}-\overrightarrow{B}=(p-2,q-4).BD=D−B=(p−2,q−4).

Since BDBDBD lies along the given diameter line, its direction vector is parallel to (1,2)(1,2)(1,2): (p-2,q-4)=\lambda(1,2). \tag{4} So, q-4=2(p-2)=2p-4 \implies q=2p. \tag{5}

Again from perpendicularity, p+2q=0.p+2q=0.p+2q=0. Substitute q=2pq=2pq=2p: p+4p=0  ⟹  p=0,q=0,p+4p=0 \implies p=0, q=0,p+4p=0⟹p=0,q=0, again impossible.

So instead of only using direction, we should use the fact that the diameter line passes through the center, i.e. the midpoint of a diagonal.

  1. Center of rectangle lies on the given diameter

The center of the rectangle is the midpoint of diagonal ACACAC (or BDBDBD). Let AD→=(p,q),\overrightarrow{AD}=(p,q),AD=(p,q), with perpendicularity condition 2p+4q=0 \implies p=-2q. \tag{6}

Vertices are: A(1,2),  B(3,6),  D(1+p,2+q),  C(3+p,6+q).A(1,2),\; B(3,6),\; D(1+p,2+q),\; C(3+p,6+q).A(1,2),B(3,6),D(1+p,2+q),C(3+p,6+q).

Center of rectangle: M=midpoint of AC=(1+3+p2,2+6+q2)=(2+p2,4+q2).M=\text{midpoint of }AC=\left(\frac{1+3+p}{2},\frac{2+6+q}{2}\right)=\left(2+\frac p2,4+\frac q2\right).M=midpoint of AC=(21+3+p​,22+6+q​)=(2+2p​,4+2q​).

Since the given line is a diameter of the circle, it must pass through the center MMM: 2(2+p2)−(4+q2)+4=0.2\left(2+\frac p2\right)-\left(4+\frac q2\right)+4=0.2(2+2p​)−(4+2q​)+4=0. Simplify: 4+p−4−q2+4=04+p-4-\frac q2+4=04+p−4−2q​+4=0 p-\frac q2+4=0. \tag{7}

Using (6), p=−2qp=-2qp=−2q: −2q−q2+4=0-2q-\frac q2+4=0−2q−2q​+4=0 −5q2+4=0-\frac{5q}{2}+4=0−25q​+4=0 q=85.q=\frac{8}{5}.q=58​. Then p=−2q=−165.p=-2q=-\frac{16}{5}.p=−2q=−516​.

So,

=\sqrt{\frac{256+64}{25}}=\sqrt{\frac{320}{25}}=\frac{8}{\sqrt5}.$$ 6. **Area of the rectangle** Area $$=AB\cdot AD=(2\sqrt5)\left(\frac{8}{\sqrt5}\right)=16.$$ ## Final Answer $$\boxed{16}$$
