Let $ABCD$ be a square. Let $E, F, G, H$ be the midpoint between the centers of the sides $\overline{AB}, \overline{BC}, \overline{CD}, \overline{DA}$ and the vertices $A, B, C, D$ respectively, such that each of $E, F, G, H$ are vertices of isosceles right-angled triangles with the hypotenuses as the sides of the square, each exterior to the square. What is the ratio of the area of square $EFGH$ to the area of square $ABCD$?
A) $\frac{1}{4}$
