Let ABCD be a parallelogram. The
points M, N and P are chosen on the
segments BD, BC and CD,
respectively, so that CNMP is a
parallelogram. Let E = AN ∩ BD and
F = AP ∩ BD. Prove that
[AEF] = [DFP] + [BEN].
Let P be a point on the circumcircle of
the equilateral triangle ABC. Prove
that the projections of any point Q
onto the lines PA, PB and PC are the
vertices of an equilateral triangle.
From a point on the circumcircle of an
equilateral triangle ABC parallels to
the sides BC, CA and AB are drawn,
intersecting the sides CA, AB and BC
at the points M, N, P, respectively.
Prove that the points M, N and P are
collinear.
In how many ways can a family of 5 brothers be seated round a table
if (i) 2 brothers must seat next to each other.
(ii) 2 brothers must not seat together.
Let P_1 , P_2 , ..., P_n be a convex polygon
with the following property : for any
two vertices P_i and P_j , there exists a
vertex P_k such that the segment P_i P_j
is seen from P_k under an angle of 60°.
Prove that the polygon is an
equilateral triangle.
Let ABC be an acute triangle. The
interior bisectors of the angles ∠B and
∠C meet the opposite sides at the
points L and M, respectively. Prove
that there exists a point K in the
interior of the side BC such that
ΔKLM is equilateral if and only if
∠A = 60°.
Let I be the incenter of ΔABC. It is
known that for every point M ∈ (AB),
one can find the points N ∈ (BC) and
P ∈ (AC) such that I is the centroid of
ΔMNP. Prove that ABC is an
equilateral triangle.
In dealing with motion of projectile in
air, we ignore effect of air resistance
on motion. What would the trajectory
look like if air resistance is included?
Sketch such a trajectory and explain
why you have drawn it that way.
