Semicircle inside a rectangle and two areas formed by diagonal

This question was uploaded on 02/02/22 on social media accounts.

Solution:

Area of triangle = (a)(b)sin(C)/2
From this formula, if the angle is common, then:
\[\color{black} {\frac{\color{red}{A_{Red}}}{\color{blue}{A_{Blue}}}=\frac{\color{red}{(k)\times(r)}}{\color{blue}{(4k)\times(r)}}=\frac14}\]

Find the ratio of the radius of both semicircles

This question was uploaded on 31/01/22 on social media accounts.

Solution:

Here, R=1+x
By using intersecting chord theorem:
\[\color{black}{y^2=\color{red}{(2)(2x)}=\color{blue}{(1-x)(1+x)}}\]
\[\color{black}{\Rightarrow y^2=\color{red}{4x}=\color{blue}{1-x^2}}\]
\[\color{black}{\Rightarrow x=\sqrt5-2}\]
\[\color{red}{R=1+x=\sqrt5-1}\]

Now,
\[\color{black} {\frac{\color{red}{R_{Red}}}{\color{blue}{R_{Blue}}}=\frac{\color{red}{\sqrt5-1}}{\color{blue}{1}}=\sqrt5-1}\]

Fraction of blue area and area of the square

This question was uploaded on 30/01/22 on social media accounts.

Solution:

ABC having half of the area of the square.
3, 6, 12 are assumed values and due to similar triangles, they must be in ratio 1:2:4.
ABF and EGF are similar triangles:
\[\color{green} {\frac{9}{12}=\frac{3}{9-x}}\]
\[\Rightarrow \color{green} {x=5}\]

Now, the Blue fraction is half of the ratio of Areas of triangles BDE and ABC:
\[\color{black} {\Rightarrow A_{Fraction}=\frac{\color{blue}{A(BDE)}}{2\times\color{red}{A(ABC)}}=\frac{\color{blue}{3\times5}}{2\times\color{red}{15\times15}}=\frac{1}{30}}\]

Quarter circle in a square

This question was uploaded on 28/01/22 on social media accounts.

Solution:

We know that:
\[\color{blue} {s^2+x^2=a^2+b^2}\]
By using cosine rule:
\[\color{black} {2ab\cos(135)=a^2+b^2-2s^2}\]
\[\Rightarrow\color{red} {-\sqrt2ab=a^2+b^2-2s^2}\]

By combining both equations:
\[\color{purple} {2s^2=a^2+b^2+\sqrt2ab}\]
\[\color{green} {2r^2=a^2+b^2-\sqrt2ab}\]

From these two equations:
\[\color{fuchsia} {s^2-r^2=\sqrt2ab}\]

Three sides of the squares are converted to squares

This question was uploaded on 27/01/22 on social media accounts.

Solution:

By applying cosine rule opposite to side A:
\[\color{black} {B^2+C^2-A^2=2BC\cos{x}}\]
By applying cosine rule opposite to angle X:
\[\color{black} {B^2+C^2-3^2=2BC\cos{(180-x)}}\]
\[\Rightarrow \color{black} {3^2-(B^2+C^2)=2BC\cos{x}}\]
From both above equations:
\[\color{black} {B^2+C^2-A^2=3^2-(B^2+C^2)}\]
\[\Rightarrow \color{Blue} {2(B^2+C^2)-A^2=3^2}\]
Similarly:
\[\Rightarrow \color{Red} {2(A^2+C^2)-B^2=4^2}\]
\[\Rightarrow \color{Green} {2(A^2+B^2)-C^2=5^2}\]
By adding the above three equations:
\[\color{Purple} {4(A^2+B^2+C^2)-(A^2+B^2+C^2)=3^2+4^2+5^2}\]
\[\Rightarrow \color{Purple} {A_{Blue}=A^2+B^2+C^2=\frac{50}3}\]

Two angle bisectors and one altitude in a right angled triangle

This question was uploaded on 25/01/22 on social media accounts.

Solution:

Given that, a:b = 3:4
Let AB = 15 and BC = 20 so AC = 25, AE = 9, CE = 16

2x + 2y = 90  (or)  x + y = 45
<BDC = 90 - x = x + 2y
<BFA = 90 - y = 2x + y
By this, Triangles ABF and CBD are isosceles.
So, AF = 15 and CD = 20
Also, AD = 5 and FC = 10

Now, DE = AE - AD = 9 - 5 = 4
and, FE = CE - CF = 16 - 10 = 6

c:d = DE:FE = 4:6 = 2:3
