gpt | Note that the center of the circle is the midpoint of $AB$, call it $M$. When we decrease $x$, the limiting condition is that the circle will eventually be tangent to segment $AD$ at $D$ and segment $BC$ at $C$. That is, $MD\perp AD$ and $MC\perp BC$.
From here, we drop the altitude from $D$ to $AM$; call the base $N$.... |

gpt | Let the trapezium have diagonal legs of length $x$ and a shorter base of length $y$.

human | The six edges of a tetrahedron $ABCD$ measure $7, 13, 18, 27, 36$ and $41$ units. If the length of edge $AB$ is $41$, then the length of edge $CD$ is
$\textbf{(A)}\ 7\qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 13\qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 18\qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 27\qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 36$
|
gpt | By the triangle inequality in $\triangle ABC$, we find that $BC$ and $CA$ must sum to greater than $41$, so they must be (in some order) $7$ and $36$, $13$ and $36$, $18$ and $27$, $18$ and $36$, or $27$ and $36$. We try $7$ and $36$, and now by the triangle inequality in $\triangle ABD$, we must use the remaining numb... |

gpt | Let $C$ have coordinates $(p, q)$. Then by the Shoelace Formula, the area of $\triangle ABC$ is $\frac{3}{2} \lvert {12q-5p} \rvert$. Since $p$ and $q$ are integers, $\lvert {12q-5p} \rvert$ is a positive integer, and by Bezout's Lemma, it can equal $1$ (e.g. with $q = 2, p = 5$), so the minimum area is $\frac{3}{2} \t... |

gpt | We are given that the area of the inscribed square is $441$, so the side length of that square is $21$. Since the square divides the $45-45-90$ larger triangle into 2 smaller congruent $45-45-90$, then the legs of the larger isosceles right triangle ($BC$ and $AB$) are equal to $42$.[asy] draw((0,0)--(10,0)--(0,10)--cy... |

|
gpt | Assume we have a scalene triangle $ABC$. Arbitrarily, let $12$ be the height to base $AB$ and $4$ be the height to base $AC$. Due to area equivalences, the base $AC$ must be three times the length of $AB$.
Let the base $AB$ be $x$, thus making $AC = 3x$. Thus, setting the final height to base $BC$ to $h$, we note that ... |

gpt | $ABE$ and $DCE$ are similar isosceles triangles. It remains to find the square of the ratio of their sides. Draw in $AD$. Because $AB$ is a diameter, $\angle ADB=\angle ADE=90^{\circ}$. Thus,\[\frac{DE}{AE}=\cos\alpha\]So\[\frac{DE^2}{AE^2}=\boxed{\cos^2\alpha}\] |

gpt | In any right triangle with legs parallel to the axes, one median to the midpoint of a leg has slope $4$ times that of the other.

gpt | We imagine this problem on a coordinate plane and let Alice's starting position be the origin. We see that she will travel along two edges and then go halfway along a third. Therefore, her new $x$-coordinate will be $1 + 2 + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{2}$ because she travels along a distance of $2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 1$ km... |
human | A plane intersects a right circular cylinder of radius $1$ forming an ellipse. If the major axis of the ellipse of $50\%$ longer than the minor axis, the length of the major axis is
$\textbf{(A)}\ 1\qquad \textbf{(B)}\ \frac{3}{2}\qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 2\qquad \textbf{(D)}\ \frac{9}{4}\qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 3$
|
gpt | We note that we can draw the minor axis to see that because the minor axis is the minimum distance between two opposite points on the ellipse, we can draw a line through two opposite points of the cylinder, and so the minor axis is $2(1) = 2$. Therefore, our answer is $2(1.5) = \boxed{3}$. |

Solving for $PA$ in $\frac{PC}{PA}=\frac{6}{8}=\frac{3}{4}$ gives us $PA=\frac{4PC}{3}$.
We also have $\frac{PA}{PC+7}=\frac{3}{4}$. Substituting $PA$ in for our expression yields $\frac{\frac{4PC}{3}}{PC+7}... |

gpt | With reference to the diagram above, let $E$ be the point on $AB$ such that $DE||BC$. Let $\angle ABC=\alpha$. We then have $\alpha =\angle AED = \angle EDC$ since $AB||CD$, so $\angle ADE=\angle ADC-\angle BDC=2\alpha-\alpha = \alpha$, which means $\triangle AED$ is isosceles.
Therefore, $AB=AE+EB=\boxed{a+b}$. |
