ABCD is $4 \times 4$ square. $E$ lies on $AB$; $AE=1$. $F$ lies on $AD$ & $AF=AE$. $EFG$ is a right angled triangle where $F$ is the right angle. Find the radius of the circumcirle of the triangle $EFG$.

the answer is $\sqrt{5}$

here is how I got it
$AF=AE=1$
from F, BC er upor FM and from G, AB er upor duita lombo (:P) eke dekhano jay je,
$DG=3$, so $EF=\sqrt{2}$ and $GF= 3.\sqrt{2}$
so $EG= 2.\sqrt{5}$
as $EFG$ right angled, so the midpoint of EG will be the centre of it's circumcircle.

How did you find out that DG=3?

Look carefully triangle AEF and triangle FGD are similar and AF/DF =1/3 so DG=3AE=3 and then we can use Pythagoras and obtain the value of the hypotenuse and the triangle EFG is right so the so answer would be half the value of the hypotenuse
