gpt | Because $\triangle VWX$ is a right triangle, $\tan V = \frac{WX}{VW}$.
By the Pythagorean Theorem, $$WX = \sqrt{VX^2 - WX^2} = \sqrt{13 - 9} = \sqrt{4} = 2.$$Then $\tan V = \boxed{\frac{2}{3}}$. |

gpt | The ratio of the length of the longest sides of the small triangle to the large triangle is $10/25 = 2/5$, which must hold constant for all sides of the two triangles since they are similar. Thus the perimeters of the two triangles are also in the ratio of $2/5$. The small triangle has perimeter $8+8+10=26$, so the l... |

The volume of the cylinder with the increased height is $\pi \cdot r^2 \cdot 8$.

human | The radius of a cylinder is doubled and its height is tripled. If its original volume was 10 cubic feet, what is its volume now, in cubic feet? |
gpt | Let the cylinder's original radius and height be $r$ and $h$, respectively. The new cylinder has volume \[
\pi (2r)^2(3h)=12\pi r^2 h,
\] which is 12 times larger than the original volume. Since the original volume was 10 cubic feet, the new volume is $\boxed{120}$ cubic feet. |

gpt | The volume of a cone with radius $r$ and height $h$ is $(1/3) \pi r^2 h$; the volume of a cylinder with similar dimensions is $\pi r^2 h$. The cone has the same radius as the cylinder and half the height, so it has $1/3$ the volume of half the cylinder and thus has $1/2\cdot 1/3 = 1/6$ the volume of the whole cylinder... |
human | Suppose that we are given 40 points equally spaced around the perimeter of a square, so that four of them are located at the vertices and the remaining points divide each side into ten congruent segments. If $P$, $Q$, and $R$ are chosen to be any three of these points which are not collinear, then how many different p... |
gpt | Without loss of generality, assume that our square has vertices at $(0,0)$, $(10,0)$, $(10,10)$, and $(0,10)$ in the coordinate plane, so that the 40 equally spaced points are exactly those points along the perimeter of this square with integral coordinates. We first note that if $P$, $Q$, and $R$ are three of these p... |
human | An $\textit{annulus}$ is the region between two concentric circles. The concentric circles in the figure have radii $b$ and $c$, with $b>c$. Let $\overline{OX}$ be a radius of the larger circle, let $\overline{XZ}$ be tangent to the smaller circle at $Z$, and let $\overline{OY}$ be the radius of the larger circle that ... |
gpt | The area of the annulus is the difference between the areas of the two circles, which is $\pi b^2 -\pi c^2$. Because the tangent $\overline{XZ}$ is perpendicular to the radius $\overline{OZ}$, $b^2 -
c^2 = a^2$, so the area is $\boxed{\pi a^2}$. |
human | The square with vertices $(-a, -a), (a, -a), (-a, a), (a, a)$ is cut by the line $y = x/2$ into congruent quadrilaterals. The perimeter of one of these congruent quadrilaterals divided by $a$ equals what? Express your answer in simplified radical form. |

human | When plotted in the standard rectangular coordinate system, trapezoid $ABCD$ has vertices $A(1, -2)$, $B(1, 1)$, $C(5, 7)$ and $D(5, 1)$. What is the area of trapezoid $ABCD$? |
gpt | The two bases of the trapezoids are the segments $AB$ and $CD$, and the height is the perpendicular distance between the bases, which in this case is the difference of the $x$-coordinates: $5 - 1 = 4$. Similarly, the lengths of the bases are the differences of the $y$-coordinates of their two endpoints. Using the formu... |
human | Polygon $ABCDEF$ is a regular hexagon. What is the measure in degrees of angle $ABF$? |
gpt | In triangle $ABF$, the two acute angles are equal since $AB=AF$. Also, the measure of $\angle A$ is $180^\circ(6-2)/6=120^\circ$. Letting $x$ be the measure of $\angle ABF$, we have \[
120^\circ+x+x=180^\circ \implies x=\boxed{30}\text{ degrees}.

gpt | Since $JM$ bisects $\angle J$, we know that the measure of $\angle KJM$ is $60/2 = 30$ degrees. Similarly, since $MK$ bisects $\angle K$, we know that the measure of $\angle JKM$ is $30/2 = 15$ degrees. Finally, since the sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle always equals $180$ degrees, we know that the sum ... |
human | Segment $s_1$ has endpoints at $(4,1)$ and $(-8,5)$. Segment $s_2$ is obtained by translating $s_1$ by $2$ units to the right and $3$ units up. Find the midpoint of segment $s_2$. Express your answer as $(a,b)$ with $a$ and $b$ integers. |
gpt | The midpoint of segment $s_1$ can be found using the midpoint formula: $\left(\frac{4-8}2,\frac{1+5}2\right)=(-2,3).$ The midpoint of $s_2$ is the translation of the midpoint of $s_1$ be $2$ units to the right and $3$ units up. Thus its coordinates are $(-2+2,3+3)=\boxed{(0,6)}.$ |

gpt | We can begin by using the circumference to solve for the radius of the circle. If the circumference is $12\pi$, then $2\pi r=12\pi$ which implies $r=6$. Now, we can draw in the radius $TZ$ as shown: [asy]

human | The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 33 units and 42 units. The third side also has an integral length. What is the least possible number of units in the perimeter of the triangle? |
gpt | The sum of the smaller two sides must exceed the greatest side, so if $x$ is the missing side then $x+33>42\implies x>9$. The smallest integer greater than 9 is 10, so the least perimeter is $10+33+42=\boxed{85}$ units. |

gpt | There are two diagonals, such as $x$, in each of the six faces for a total of twelve face diagonals. There are also four space diagonals, such as $y$, which are within the cube. This makes a total of $\boxed{16}$. |
