Square \(ABCD\) has area \(200\). Point \(E\) lies on side \(\overline{BC}\). Points \(F\) and \(G\) are the midpoints of \(\overline{AE}\) and \(\overline{DE}\), respectively. Given that quadrilateral \(BEGF\) has area \(34\), what is the area of triangle \(GCD\)?

We can use coordinates.  A = (0,sqrt(200)), B = (sqrt(200),sqrt(200)), C= (sqrt(200),0), D = (0,0).  Then G = (sqrt(200)/2,17), E = (sqrt(200),34), F = (sqrt(200),17), so the area of triangle GCD is 45.
