A semicircle is tangent to both legs of a
right triangle and has its centre on the
hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is
partitioned into 4 segments, with lengths
3, 12, 12, and x, as shown in the figure.
Determine the value of ′x′.
Let ABC be an acute-angled triangle
with AC ≠ BC and let O be the
circumcenter and F be the foot of
altitude through C. Further, let X and Y
be the feet of perpendiculars dropped
from A and B respectively to (the
extension of) CO. The line FO intersects
the circumcircle of ΔFXY, second time
at P. Prove that OP < OF.
Let PQRS be a rectangle such that
PQ = a and QR = b. Suppose r_1 is the
radius of the circle passing through P
and Q and touching RS and r_2 is the
radius of the circle passing through Q
and R and touching PS. Show that :
5(a + b) ≤ 8(r_1 + r_2 )
Let ABCD be a parallelogram. Two
points E and F are chosen on the sides
BC and CD, respectively, such that
((EB)/(EC)) = m, and ((FC)/(FD)) = n. Lines AE and BF
intersect at G. Prove that the ratio
((AG)/(GE)) = (((m + 1)(n + 1))/(mn)).
Ball A is dropped from the top of a building.
At the same instant ball B is thrown
vertically upwards from the ground.
When the ball collide, they are moving in
opposite directions and the speed of A(u)
is twice the speed of B. The relative
velocity of the ball just before collision
and relative acceleration between them
is (only their magnitudes)
