Geometry (Thailand Math POSN 1st elimination round 2014)

A lot easier than last year.

Write a full solution.

1.) Let ABCD\square ABCD be a quadrilateral with the sum of the opposite sides are equal. (i.e. AB+CD=AD+BCAB + CD = AD + BC). Prove that

  • 1.1) ABCD\square ABCD is a tangential quadrilateral (there is a circle inside the square and tangent to each sides).
  • 1.2) The 4 internal angle bisectors intersect at one point.

2.) Let ABC\triangle ABC be the triangle with point DD lies on BC\overline{BC} such that AB×DC=AC×BDAB\times DC = AC \times BD. Prove that AD\overline{AD} is the internal angle bisector of BA^CB\hat{A}C.

3.) Let ABC\triangle ABC be the triangle with BA^C<90B\hat{A}C < 90^{\circ} and BC=a,CA=b,AB=cBC = a, CA = b, AB = c. If AD\overline{AD} is a median line, prove that 2(AD2)=b2+c2a22\displaystyle 2(AD^{2}) = b^{2}+c^{2}-\frac{a^{2}}{2}.

4.) Given a line segment length 11 unit. Explain how to construct a square with area of 535\sqrt{3} sq.unit using only straightedge and compass.

5.) Let the external angle bisectors of ABC\triangle ABC bisect at the extension of sides of triangle at D,E,FD,E,F. Prove that D,E,FD,E,F are collinear.

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

  • Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
  • Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
  • Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
  • Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

For q3 will you get marks if you quote Apollonius' Theorem? It is quite well known.

Nah, but it's actually really easy to prove.
