Take the side of square as a
Then, AB= a; BF = a/2.
Hence, in triangle ABF,
AF = sqrt (a^2 + (a/2)^2) (By Pythogaras theorem)
= sqrt (5 a^2 /4) = a /2 x sqrt (5)
Again sin A = ((a/2)/(a /2 x sqrt (5))) = 1/sqrt (5)
cos A = ((a)/(a /2 x sqrt (5))) = 2 / sqrt (5)
As you can see PQRS forms a square. So, angle P = 90°
Now, in triangle APE,
sin A = PE/AE---> PE = AE sin A = (a/2)(1/sqrt (5)) = a/(2 sqrt (5))
cos A = AP/AE---> AP = AE cos A = (a/2)(2/sqrt (5)) = a/( sqrt (5))
AF = AP+ PQ+QF
a sqrt (5) / 2= a/(2 sqrt (5)) + PQ+ a/( sqrt (5))
PQ = a sqrt (5) / 2 - ( a/(2 sqrt (5)) + a/( sqrt (5)))
= (5a - (a+2a)/(2 sqrt (5))) = a/ sqrt (5)
(Check any line and you can see this.. QF = AE)
Hence, side PQ = a/ sqrt (5)
Area of PQRS = a^2 /5
Area of ABCD = a^2
The ratio of the areasPQRS : ABCD is (a^2 /5)/a^2 = 1/5
= 0.2
Then, AB= a; BF = a/2.
Hence, in triangle ABF,
AF = sqrt (a^2 + (a/2)^2) (By Pythogaras theorem)
= sqrt (5 a^2 /4) = a /2 x sqrt (5)
Again sin A = ((a/2)/(a /2 x sqrt (5))) = 1/sqrt (5)
cos A = ((a)/(a /2 x sqrt (5))) = 2 / sqrt (5)
As you can see PQRS forms a square. So, angle P = 90°
Now, in triangle APE,
sin A = PE/AE---> PE = AE sin A = (a/2)(1/sqrt (5)) = a/(2 sqrt (5))
cos A = AP/AE---> AP = AE cos A = (a/2)(2/sqrt (5)) = a/( sqrt (5))
AF = AP+ PQ+QF
a sqrt (5) / 2= a/(2 sqrt (5)) + PQ+ a/( sqrt (5))
PQ = a sqrt (5) / 2 - ( a/(2 sqrt (5)) + a/( sqrt (5)))
= (5a - (a+2a)/(2 sqrt (5))) = a/ sqrt (5)
(Check any line and you can see this.. QF = AE)
Hence, side PQ = a/ sqrt (5)
Area of PQRS = a^2 /5
Area of ABCD = a^2

Given AE=BF=CG=DH
⟹ So, EB=FC=GD=HA
In △s AEH and BFE,
AE=BF, AH=EB,
∠A=∠B (each ∠ = 90⁰)
∴ △AEH ≅ △BFE
⟹ EH=EF and ∠4= ∠2.
But ∠1 + ∠4 = 90⁰ ⟹ ∠1 + ∠2 = 90⁰
⟹ ∠HEF = 90⁰
And if ∠HEF = 90⁰ so, ∠EFG = 90⁰, ∠FGH = 90⁰ and ∠GHE = 90⁰.
Hence Proved.
