As it is symmetrical, you have your length MD 1.11803399
Turn it into a parallelogram, and as the area of a paralellogram is base * height, you already have the base as 1/2 is 0.5
0.5 * MD, which is the height, gets you 0.559016994.
0.559016994/2, as there are 2 identical trapeziums gets you 0.279508497.
Thus, the area of the shaded region is 0.279508497.

I'm looking for help with the following question and the possible values for x and y, if any. If you do reply, please show your working out as I'd like to know how you've come to your answer. I've attempted it several times with a form of logarithms and algebra but every time I don't get a result.

If you do manage to get an answer, please inform me how!

Thank you!
