A small circle is contained inside a quarter circle and tangent to one of its sides. A line segment is constructed to be tangent to the small circle and perpendicular to the other side of the quarter circle. If the line segment has length equal to 12, what is the area shaded in blue, equal to the area of the quarter circle minus the small circle?

In which direction is point E with respect to the point D and what is the shortest distance between point F and point D?

Starting from his home, Kay moves 40km towards North. He then takes a right turn and walks 30 km to reach point D. From there, he turns towards North-West and moves 50 km. After which he moved 40 km towards North and reaches a point which is in line with his home and the point where he took the first turn. Then, he turns and travels towards South-West for 80√2 km to reach point F which is inline with point D and the point where he took the first turn. From F, he finally turned 135 degrees towards his right and walked 80 km to reach point E.

Q: In which direction is point E with respect to the point D and what is the shortest distance between point F and point D?
