The Fibonacci numbers $F_n$ are defined as $F_1 = F_2 = 1$ and $F_n = F_{n-1} + F_{n-2}$ for all $n> 2$. Let $A$ be the minimum area of a (possibly degenerate) convex polygon with $2020$ sides, whose side lengths are the first $2020$ Fibonacci numbers $F_1$, $F_2$, $...$ , $F_{2020}$ (in any order). A degenerate convex polygon is a polygon where all angles are $\le 180^o$. If $A$ can be expressed in the form $$\frac{\sqrt{(F_a-b)^2-c}}{d}$$ , where $a, b, c$ and $d$ are positive integers, compute the minimal possible value of $a + b + c + d$.

Albatross and Frankinfueter both own a circle. Frankinfueter also has stolen from Prof. Trugweg a ruler. Before that, Trugweg had two points with a distance of $1$ drawn his (infinitely large) board. For a natural number $n$, let A $(n)$ be the number of the construction steps that Albatross needs at least to create two points with a distance of $n$ to construct. Similarly, Frankinfueter needs at least $F(n)$ steps for this. How big can $\frac{A (n)}{F (n)}$ become? There are only the following three construction steps: a) Mark an intersection of two straight lines, two circles or a straight line with one circle. b) Pierce at a marked point $P$ and draw a circle around $P$ through one marked point . c) Draw a straight line through two marked points (this implies possession of a ruler ahead!).
