The problems are from an Introduction To Geometry Book

Sorry I meant that 4 sqrt7 for the last one is wrong whoops

#52 Re: Help Me ! » Quadrilaterals Help » 2015-08-20 03:20:06

Can you provide a solution for number 1? I don't think that 4 sqrt7 is correct. Also, for number 3 is there anyother way to do it besides using tan, cos or sine because I haven't learned those yet

Thanks for the help, I will look through the posts, if there is anything I dont understand I will ask it here smile

Let ABCD and BEDF be two 2 times 3 rectangles that overlap, as shown. Find the area of the overlap.



ABCD is a square. Parallel lines m, n, and p pass through vertices A, B, and C, respectively. The distance between m and n is 12, and the distance between n and p is 17. Find the area of square ABCD




Let P be a point inside rectangle ABCD such that PA = 1, PB = 7, and PC = 8. Find PD.


Please provide a solution if possible. Thanks

Whoops, I see what i did wrong, thanks for the help Bob!

#56 Re: Help Me ! » Struggling with Parallelograms » 2015-08-12 12:04:47

Ok I got number 1 which was 165 degrees, and I tried number 2. Like you said BDE = 180 - CBD = BAE  and we are trying to find BAE, since the problem states that CBD is 28 degrees, 180-28 is 152 so now we have BDE=152=BAE so from there we can see that BAE is 152, this feels to easy to be true and I think im doing something wrong and/or missing something

I think like a subforum inside this forum with the different topics like, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, etc. Also, thanks for your help on problem 3, can I have some help with 1 and 2?

#58 Re: Help Me ! » Struggling with Parallelograms » 2015-08-11 10:58:46

I'm still having trouble, can you post a solution for the problems so that I can understand them better? Thanks for the help

I am stuck on these two problems, a solution would be greatly appreciated



Triangle ABC is a right triangle with right angle at A. Suppose

is an altitude of the triangle, 
is an angle bisector of the triangle, and
is a median of the triangle, and
. If X is on
, then what is the measure of



Points D, E, and F are the midpoints of sides

respectively, and
is an altitude of the triangle. If
, then what is
in degrees?

Many Thanks

I really don't know how to do these problems:

Suppose that ab = 7 and a^2b + ab^2 + a+b = 80. What is a^2+b^2?


Find the ordered quintuplet (a,b,c,d,e) that satisfies the system of equations

a  +  2b  +  3c  +  4d  +  5e  =  177,
2a  +  3b  +  4c  +  5d  +  e  =  154,
3a  +  4b  +  5c  +  d  +  2e  =  146,
4a  +  5b  +  c  +  2d  +  3e  =  138,
5a  +  b  +  2c  +  3d  +  4e  =  165.



Suppose  p+q+r = 7  and  p^2+q^2+r^2 = 9 . Then, what is the average (arithmetic mean) of the three products  pq ,  qr , and  rp ?

I am stuck on this problem:

When the measures of the angles of a triangle are placed in order, the difference between the middle angle and smallest angle is equal to the difference between the middle angle and largest angle. If one of the angles of the triangle has measure 23 degrees, then what is the measure in degrees of the largest angle of the triangle?

Thanks for the help

ALL EDITED
1)
The graph of y=f(x) is shown in red below. For how many values of c is f(c) = -1?

Part 1:

Let f(x) = 3x^2 - 4x. Find the constant k such that f(x) = f(k - x) for all real numbers x.

Part 2:

Consider the functions
\[f(x) = \sqrt{\dfrac{x+1}{x-1}}\qquad\qquad\text{and}\qquad\qquad g(x) = \dfrac{\sqrt{x+1}}{\sqrt{x-1}}.\]
Explain why f and g are not the same function.
