Let ABCDABCD be a square and aa be the length of his edges. The segments AEAE and CFCF are perpendicular on the square's plane in the same half-space and they have the length AE=aAE=a, CF=bCF=b where a<b<a3a<b<a\sqrt 3. If KK denoted the set of the interior points of the square ABCDABCD determine min⁡M∈K(max⁡(EM,FM))\min_{M\in K} \left( \max ( EM, FM ) \right) and max⁡M∈K(min⁡(EM,FM))\max_{M\in K} \left( \min (EM,FM) \right).
