Problem Statement

From vertex AA in square ABCDABCD (of side length 11 ) two lines are drawn , one intersecting side BCBC and the other intersecting side CDCD. The angle between these lines is θ\theta. From vertices BB and DD we construct perpendiculars to each of these lines . Find the area of the quadrilateral whose vertices are the four feet of these perpendiculars.
