- Divide an isosceles triangle
How can an isosceles triangle be divided into two parts with equal areas perpendicular to the axis of symmetry (into a trapezoid and a triangle)?
- Two similar
There are two similar triangles. One has a circumference of 100 cm, and the second has sides successively 8 cm, 14 cm, and 18 cm longer than the first. Find the lengths of its sides.
- The truncated
The truncated rotating cone has bases with radii r1 = 8 cm, r2 = 4 cm, and height v = 5 cm. What is the volume of the cone from which the truncated cone originated?
- 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 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 house's height and its distance from the church.
- MO Z7–I–6 2021
In triangle ABC, point D lies on the AC side and point E on the BC side. The sizes of the angles ABD, BAE, CAE, and CBD are 30°, 60°, 20°, and 30°, respectively. Find the size of the AED angle.
- Circumference 42471
The lengths of the sides of the triangle ABC are in the ratio 4:2:5. Calculate the size of the longest side of a similar KLM triangle, whose circumference is 66 cm.
- Right-angled 40961
A right-angled triangle ABC has sides a = 5 cm, b = 8 cm. The similar triangle A'B'C' is 2.5 times smaller. Calculate the percentage of the area of triangle ABC that is the area of triangle A'B'C'.
- A cliff
A line from the top of a cliff to the ground passes just over the top of a pole 5 ft high. It meets the ground at a point 8 ft from the base of the pole. The point is 93 ft from the base of the cliff. How high is the cliff?

The vertical one-meter-long rod casts a shadow 150 cm long. Calculate the height of a column whose shadow is 36 m long simultaneously.
- Triangle-shaped 30011
Determine the map's scale if the 1.6 km, 2.4 km, and 2.7 km triangle-shaped forests are drawn on the map as a triangle with sides of 32 mm, 48 mm, and 54 mm.
- Vertical 29801
The shadow of the building is 16 m long, and the shadow of the vertical meter rod is 0.8 m long at the same time. What is the height of the building?
- The straight
The straight path rises by 72 cm every 3 m of its length. How many meters will it climb to 350 m?
- Triangular 29781
A triangular building plot is drawn on a 1:5,000 scale plan as a triangle with sides of lengths 32.5 mm, 23.5 mm, and 36 mm. Determine how many m of mesh are needed to fence the entire plot.
- Poplar shadow
The nine-meter poplar casts a shadow 16.2 m long. How long does a shadow cast by Peter at the same time if it is 1.4 m high?
- 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.
- Inclined plane
The body stays on an inclined plane and exerts a compressive force of 70N on it. Find the angle between the inclined plane and the horizontal if a gravitational force of 100N acts on the body.
- Chimney and tree
Calculate the height of the factory chimney, which casts a shadow of 6.5 m long in the afternoon. At the same time, a 6 m high tree standing near it casts a shadow 25 dm long.
