Instead of considering the actual values of the areas, consider only the changes in the areas that result from moving point $P$ from the center of the circle. We will proceed by coordinates. Set the origin at the center of the circle and refer to the following diagram, where the octagon is oriented so as $A_1A_2$ is ho...

Triangle $ABC$ has side lengths $AB=120,BC=220$, and $AC=180$. Lines $\ell_A,\ell_B$, and $\ell_C$ are drawn parallel to $\overline{BC},\overline{AC}$, and $\overline{AB}$, respectively, such that the intersections of $\ell_A,\ell_B$, and $\ell_C$ with the interior of $\triangle ABC$ are segments of lengths $55,45$, an...

Let's squish a triangle with side lengths 15, 22.5, and 27.5 into a equilateral triangle with side length 1. Then, the original triangle gets turned into a equilateral triangle with side length 8. Since 15 is one eighth of 120, it has a length of one. Since 45 and 55 are one fourth of 180 and 220 respectively, they are...

Let $M_A$, $M_B$, $M_C$ be the midpoints of arcs $BC$, $CA$, $AB$. By Fact 5, we know that $M_AB = M_AC = M_AI$, and so by Ptolmey's theorem, we deduce that \[AB\cdot M_AC + AC\cdot M_AB = BC\cdot M_AA \implies M_AA = 2M_AI.\] In particular, we have $AI = IM_A$. Now the key claim is that: Claim: $\triangle DEF$ and...

The length of $AB$ at a point $x$ is $8x$, so $x=\frac{1}{2}$. We now have the coordinates $A=\left(\frac{1}{2},\frac{3\sqrt{7}}{2}\right)$, $B=(0,0)$ ...

To get the area of $\triangle AEF$, we try to find $AM$ and $\angle EAF$. Since $AD$ is the angle bisector, we can get that $BD=2$ and $CD=3$. By applying Stewart's Theorem, we can get that $AD=3\sqrt{2}$. Therefore $AM=\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2}$. Since $EF$ is the perpendicular bisector of $AD$, we know that $AE = DE$. Si...

2000 AMC 10 Problem 19
Solution 1 WLOG, let a side of the square be $1$. Simple angle chasing shows that the two right triangles are similar. Thus the ratio of the sides of the triangles are the same. Since $A = \frac{1}{2}bh = \frac{h}{2}$, the base of the triangle with area $m$ is $2m$. Therefore $\frac{2m}{1} = \frac{1}{x}$ where $x$ is ...

Through a point on the hypotenuse of a right triangle, lines are drawn parallel to the legs of the triangle so that the triangle is divided into a square and two smaller right triangles.

2000 AMC 10 Problem 19
Because we know that the right triangles are always similar, in a figure , x/y = y/a. Using cross products, we can say that xa= y^2. We are trying to solve for x because m is in terms of a and y; m= a/2y (the ratio of the area of one triangle to the area of the square). So solving for x, x= y^2/a. Then the question i...

Eight congruent equilateral triangles, each of a different color, are used to construct a regular octahedron. How many distinguishable ways are there to construct the octahedron? (Two colored octahedrons are distinguishable if neither can be rotated to look just like the other.) $\textbf {(A)}\ 210 \qquad \textbf {(...
2000 AMC 12 Problem 25
Since the octahedron is indistinguishable by rotations, without loss of generality fix a face to be red. There are $7!$ ways to arrange the remaining seven colors, but there still are three possible rotations about the fixed face, so the answer is $7!/3 = 1680$.
