Question: Suppose that $ABCD$ is a trapezoid in which $\overline{AD}|| \overline{BC}$.  Given $\overline{AC}\perp\overline{CD}$, $\overline{AC}$ bisects angle $\angle BAD$, and $[ABCD]=42$, then compute $[\triangle ACD]$.

To solve the problem, we need to find the area of triangle \( \triangle ACD \) given that \(ABCD\) is a trapezoid with \( \overline{AD} \parallel \overline{BC} \), \( \overline{AC} \perp \overline{CD} \), \( \overline{AC} \) bisects \( \angle BAD \), and the area of trapezoid \(ABCD\) is 42.

First, let's denote the lengths of the sides and heights of the trapezoid. Let \(AD = a\), \(BC = b\), and the height of the trapezoid be \(h\). Since \( \overline{AD} \parallel \overline{BC} \), the height \(h\) is the perpendicular distance between these two parallel sides.

Given that \( \overline{AC} \perp \overline{CD} \), triangle \( \triangle ACD \) is a right triangle with \( \angle ACD = 90^\circ \). Let \(AC = c\) and \(CD = d\). Since \( \overline{AC} \) bisects \( \angle BAD \), we can use the angle bisector theorem. However, we need to find a relationship between the sides and the area.

The area of trapezoid \(ABCD\) is given by:
\[
[ABCD] = \frac{1}{2} \times (AD + BC) \times h = 42
\]
So,
\[
\frac{1}{2} \times (a + b) \times h = 42 \implies (a + b) \times h = 84
\]

Now, let's consider triangle \( \triangle ACD \). Since \( \overline{AC} \perp \overline{CD} \), the area of \( \triangle ACD \) is:
\[
[\triangle ACD] = \frac{1}{2} \times AC \times CD = \frac{1}{2} \times c \times d
\]

We need to find a relationship between \(c\) and \(d\) and the other sides of the trapezoid. Since \( \overline{AC} \) bisects \( \angle BAD \), we can use the angle bisector theorem, but it might be more straightforward to use coordinates or trigonometry.

Let's place the trapezoid in a coordinate system. Let \(D = (0,0)\), \(A = (a,0)\), \(C = (x,h)\), and \(B = (x + b, h)\). Since \( \overline{AC} \perp \overline{CD} \), the slopes of \( \overline{AC} \) and \( \overline{CD} \) are negative reciprocals. The slope of \( \overline{CD} \) is \( \frac{h - 0}{x - 0} = \frac{h}{x} \), and the slope of \( \overline{AC} \) is \( \frac{h - 0}{x - a} = \frac{h}{x - a} \). Since they are perpendicular, their product is \(-1\):
\[
\frac{h}{x} \cdot \frac{h}{x - a} = -1 \implies h^2 = -x(x - a) \implies h^2 = x(a - x)
\]

Also, since \( \overline{AC} \) bisects \( \angle BAD \), by the angle bisector theorem, the ratio of the segments \(BD\) and \(DA\) is equal to the ratio of the other two sides. However, this might be complicated. Instead, let's use the fact that the area of the trapezoid is 42 and the area of \( \triangle ACD \) is part of it.

Notice that the area of trapezoid \(ABCD\) is the sum of the areas of \( \triangle ACD \) and trapezoid \(ABCD\) minus \( \triangle ACD \). However, since \( \overline{AC} \) is a diagonal, the area of trapezoid \(ABCD\) is the sum of the areas of \( \triangle ACD \) and \( \triangle ABC \).

But since \( \overline{AC} \perp \overline{CD} \), \( \triangle ACD \) is a right triangle, and the area of \( \triangle ACD \) is \( \frac{1}{2} \times AC \times CD \). We need to find \(AC\) and \(CD\).

From the coordinate system, \(AC = \sqrt{(x - a)^2 + h^2}\) and \(CD = \sqrt{x^2 + h^2}\). However, since \(h^2 = x(a - x)\), we can substitute.

But instead, let's use the fact that the area of trapezoid \(ABCD\) is 42, and the area of \( \triangle ACD \) is part of it. Since \( \overline{AC} \) is a diagonal, the area of trapezoid \(ABCD\) is the sum of the areas of \( \triangle ACD \) and \( \triangle ABC \).

However, since \( \overline{AC} \perp \overline{CD} \), \( \triangle ACD \) is a right triangle, and the area of \( \triangle ACD \) is \( \frac{1}{2} \times AC \times CD \). But we need to find a relationship between the sides.

Given that \( \overline{AC} \) bisects \( \angle BAD \), by the angle bisector theorem, the ratio of \(BD\) to \(DA\) is equal to the ratio of \(BC\) to \(AD\). However, since \( \overline{AD} \parallel \overline{BC} \), the trapezoid is isosceles if \(AB = CD\), but we don't know that. Instead, let's use the fact that the area of trapezoid \(ABCD\) is 42, and the area of \( \triangle ACD \) is part of it.
