6. Geometry Problems

1. Construct a rectangle ABDE equal in area to a given triangle with sides AB = 70mm, AC = 80mm, and BC = 80mm. Prove that the area of rectangle ABDE equals the area of triangle ABC.

Solution:
To find the area of the triangle ABC, use Heron’s formula. First, find the semi-perimeter:

  • Semi-perimeter (s) = (AB + AC + BC) / 2 = (70 + 80 + 80) / 2 = 115 mm
  • Area (A) = sqrt(s * (s – AB) * (s – AC) * (s – BC))
    Area (A) = sqrt(115 * (115 – 70) * (115 – 80) * (115 – 80))
    Area (A) ≈ 2800 mm²

To find a rectangle with this area, if one side is 70mm, the other side will be:

  • Width = 2800 mm² / 70 mm = 40 mm

Thus, a rectangle ABDE with length 70mm and width 40mm will have the same area as the triangle ABC.

2. Inscribe a circle into an isosceles triangle with sides AB = 80mm, AC = 80mm, and BC = 70mm.

Solution:
To inscribe a circle, use the formula for the radius (r) of the circle inscribed in a triangle:

  • Radius (r) = Area / Semi-perimeter
  • Semi-perimeter (s) = (AB + AC + BC) / 2 = (80 + 80 + 70) / 2 = 115 mm
  • Area = sqrt(s * (s – AB) * (s – AC) * (s – BC))
    Area ≈ 2470 mm²
  • Radius (r) = 2470 mm² / 115 mm ≈ 21.5 mm

3. Inscribe a square into a circle with a radius of 30mm.

Solution:
The diagonal of the square is equal to the diameter of the circle. The diameter is:

  • Diameter = 2 × Radius = 2 × 30 mm = 60 mm

Let the side of the square be s. The relationship between the diagonal and side of a square is:

  • Diagonal = s√2
  • s√2 = 60 mm
    s = 60 mm / √2 ≈ 42.4 mm

4. Prove that triangles on the same base and between parallel lines have equal areas, given the base of the two triangles as 70mm and the distance between the two parallel lines as 45mm.

Solution:
Let the base of the triangles be b and the distance between the parallel lines be h. The area of each triangle is:

  • Area = 1/2 × b × h

Since the base and height are the same for both triangles:

  • Area1 = 1/2 × 70 mm × 45 mm
  • Area2 = 1/2 × 70 mm × 45 mm

Thus, both triangles have equal areas.
