Karim uses a photocopier to enlarge the triangle PQR diagram by 150%. a) Write the ratio of the length of P' Q' to the length of PQ. b) Is the ratio of the length P 'R' to the length PR equal to the ratio of the length P 'Q' to the length PQ? c) Use your - Triangle 69144
The line p passes through the center of gravity T of the triangle and is parallel to the line BC. What is the ratio of the area of the divided smaller part of the triangle by the line p? What is the area of the triangle? - Similar frustums
The upper and lower radii of a frustum of a right circular cone are 8 cm and 32 cm, respectively. If the altitude of the frustum is 10 cm, how far from the bottom base must a cutting plane be made to form two similar frustums? - Pentagon
The signboard has the shape of a pentagon ABCDE, in which line BC is perpendicular to line AB, and EA is perpendicular to line AB. Point P is the heel of the vertical starting from point D on line AB. | AP | = | PB |, | BC | = | EA | = 6dm, | PD | = 8.4dm
- Three
Three points are given: A (-3, 1), B (2, -4), C (3, 3) a) Find the perimeter of triangle ABC. b) Decide what type of triangle the triangle ABC is. c) Find the length of the inscribed circle - Two similar
Two similar triangles, one has a circumference of 100 cm, the second has sides successively 8 cm, 14 cm, and 18 cm longer than the first. Find the lengths of its sides. - Two cables
On a flat plain, two columns are erected vertically upwards. One is 7 m high, and the other 4 m. Cables are stretched between the top of one column and the foot of the other column. At what height will the cables cross? Assume that the cables do not sag. - Tower's view
From the church tower's view at the height of 65 m, the top of the house can be seen at a depth angle of alpha = 45° and its bottom at a depth angle of beta = 58°. Calculate the height of the house and its distance from the church. - Distance of points
A regular quadrilateral pyramid ABCDV is given, in which edge AB = a = 4 cm and height v = 8 cm. Let S be the center of the CV. Find the distance of points A and S.
- Equilateral cone
We pour so much water into a container with the shape of an equilateral cone, the base of which has a radius r = 6 cm, that one-third of the volume of the cone is filled. How high will the water reach if we turn the cone upside down? - Meneal's 26771
Show (using Meneal's theorem) that the center of gravity divides the line in a 1:2 ratio. - An observer
An observer standing west of the tower sees its top at an altitude angle of 45 degrees. After moving 50 meters to the south, he sees its top at an altitude angle of 30 degrees. How tall is the tower? - Conical bottle
When a conical bottle rests on its flat base, the water in the bottle is 8 cm from its vertex. When the same conical bottle is turned upside down, the water level is 2 cm from its base. What is the height of the bottle? - Sides of right angled triangle
One leg is 1 m shorter than the hypotenuse, and the second leg is 2 m shorter than the hypotenuse. Find the lengths of all sides of the right-angled triangle.
