What is the distance the center of theball travels over the course from A to B?1.2.The 50% off price of half a pound of fish is $3, so the 100%, or the regular price, of a half pound of fish is $6. Consequently, if half a pound of fish costs $6, then a whole pound of fish is dollars.3.Notice that we can pair up every two numbers to make a sum of 1:Therefore, the answer is .4.Each of her seven friends paid to cover Judi's portion. Therefore, Judi's portion must be . Since Judi was supposed to pay of the total bill, the total bill must be .5.The median here is obviously less than the mean, so option (A) and (B) are out.Lining up the numbers (5, 5, 6, 8, 106), we see that the median weight is 6 pounds.The average weight of the five kids is .Therefore, the average weight is bigger, by pounds, making the answer.6.Solution 1: Working BackwardsLet the value in the empty box in the middle row be , and the value in the empty box in the top row be . is the answer we're looking for.We see that , making .It follows that , so .Solution 2: Jumping Back to the StartAnother way to do this problem is to realize what makes up the bottommost number. This method doesn't work quite as well for this problem, but in a larger tree, it might be faster. (In this case, Solution 1 would be faster since there's only two missing numbers.)Again, let the value in the empty box in the middle row be , and the value in the empty box in the top row be . is the answer we're looking for.We can write some equations:Now we can substitute into the first equation using the two others:7.If Trey saw , then he saw .2 minutes and 45 seconds can also be expressed as seconds.Trey's rate of seeing cars, , can be multiplied by on the top and bottom (and preserve the same rate):. It follows that the most likely number of cars is . Solution 2minutes and seconds is equal to .Since Trey probably counts around cars every seconds, there are groups of cars that Trey most likely counts. Since , the closest answer choice is .8.First, there are ways to flip the coins, in order.The ways to get two consecutive heads are HHT and THH.The way to get three consecutive heads is HHH.Therefore, the probability of flipping at least two consecutive heads is .9.This is a geometric sequence in which the common ratio is 2. To find the jump that would be over a 1000 meters, we note that .However, because the first term is and not , the solution to the problem is10. To find either the LCM or the GCF of two numbers, always prime factorize first.The prime factorization of .The prime factorization of .Then, find the greatest power of all the numbers there are; if one number is one but not the other, use it (this is ). Multiply all of these to get 5940.For the GCF of 180 and 594, use the least power of all of the numbers that are in both factorizations and multiply. = 18.Thus the answer = = .We start off with a similar approach as the original solution. From the prime factorizations, the GCF is .It is a well known fact that . So we have,.Dividing by yields .Therefore, .11. We use that fact that . Let d= distance, r= rate or speed, and t=time. In this case, let represent the time.On Monday, he was at a rate of . So, .For Wednesday, he walked at a rate of . Therefore, .On Friday, he walked at a rate of . So, .Adding up the hours yields + + = .We now find the amount of time Grandfather would have taken if he walked at per day. Set up the equation, .To find the amount of time saved, subtract the two amounts: - = . To convert this to minutes, we multiply by .Thus, the solution to this problem is12. First, find the amount of money one will pay for three sandals without the discount. We have.Then, find the amount of money using the discount: .Finding the percentage yields .To find the percent saved, we have13. Let the two digits be and .The correct score was . Clara misinterpreted it as . The difference between the two is which factors into . Therefore, since the difference is a multiple of 9, the only answerchoice that is a multiple of 9 is .14. The probability that both show a green bean is . The probability that both show a red bean is . Therefore the probability is15.Therefore, .Therefore, .To most people, it would not be immediately evident that , so we can multiply 6's until we get the desired number:, so .Therefore the answer is .16. Solution 1: AlgebraWe multiply the first ratio by 8 on both sides, and the second ratio by 5 to get the same number for 8th graders, in order that we can put the two ratios together:Therefore, the ratio of 8th graders to 7th graders to 6th graders is . Since the ratio is in lowest terms, the smallest number of students participating in the project is .Solution 2: FakesolvingThe number of 8th graders has to be a multiple of 8 and 5, so assume it is 40 (the smallest possibility). Then there are 6th graders and 7th graders. The numbers of students is17. Solution 1The mean of these numbers is . Therefore the numbers are, so the answer isSolution 2Let the number be . Then our desired number is .Our integers are , so we have that.Solution 3Let the first term be . Our integers are . We have,18. Solution 1There are cubes on the base of the box. Then, for each of the 4 layers above the bottom (as since each cube is 1 foot by 1 foot by 1 foot and the box is 5 feet tall, there are 4 feet left), there arecubes. Hence, the answer is .Solution 2We can just calculate the volume of the prism that was cut out of the original box. Each interior side of the fort will be feet shorter than each side of the outside. Since the floor is foot, the height will be feet. So the volume of the interior box is .The volume of the original box is . Therefore, the number of blocks contained inthe fort is .19. If Hannah did better than Cassie, there would be no way she could know for sure that she didn't get the lowest score in the class. Therefore, Hannah did worse than Cassie. Similarly, if Hannah did worse than Bridget, there is no way Bridget could have known that she didn't get the highest in the class.Therefore, Hannah did better than Bridget, so our order is .20.A semicircle has symmetry, so the center is exactly at the midpoint of the 2 side on the rectangle, making the radius, by the Pythagorean Theorem, . The area is .21.The number of ways to get from Samantha's house to City Park is , and the number of ways toget from City Park to school is . Since there's one way to go through City Park (just walking straight through), the number of different ways to go from Samantha's house to City Park to school .22. There are vertical columns with a length of toothpicks, and there are horizontal rows with a length of toothpicks. An effective way to verify this is to try a small case, i.e. a grid of toothpicks.Thus, our answer is .23. Solution 1If the semicircle on AB were a full circle, the area would be 16pi. Therefore the diameter of the first circle is 8. The arc of the largest semicircle would normally have a complete diameter of 17. The Pythagoreantheorem says that the other side has length 15, so the radius is .Solution 2We go as in Solution 1, finding the diameter of the circle on AC and AB. Then, an extended version of the theorem says that the sum of the semicircles on the left is equal to the biggest one, so the area of thelargest is , and the middle one is , so the radius is .24.First let (where is the side length of the squares) for simplicity. We can extend until it hits theextension of . Call this point . The area of triangle then is The area of rectangle is . Thus, our desired area is . Now, the ratio of the shaded area to thecombined area of the three squares is .Let the side length of each square be .Let the intersection of and be .Since , . Since and are vertical angles, they are congruent. We also have by definition.So we have by congruence. Therefore, .Since and are midpoints of sides, . This combined with yields.The area of trapezoid is .The area of triangle is .So the area of the pentagon is .The area of the squares is .Therefore, .Let the intersection of and be .Now we have and .Because both triangles has a side on congruent squares therefore .Because and are vertical angles .Also both and are right angles so .Therefore by AAS(Angle, Angle, Side) .Then translating/rotating the shaded into the position ofSo the shaded area now completely covers the squareSet the area of a square asTherefore, .25. Solution 1The radius of the ball is 2 inches. If you think about the ball rolling or draw a path for the ball (see figure below), you see that in A and C it loses inches, and it gains inches on B.So, the departure from the length of the track means that the answer is . Solution 2The total length of all of the arcs is . Since we want the path from the center, the actual distance will be shorter. Therefore, the only answer choice less than is . Thissolution may be invalid because the actual distance can be longer if the path the center travels is on the outside of the curve, as it is in the middle bump.古希腊哲学大师亚里士多德说:人有两种,一种即“吃饭是为了活着”,一种是“活着是为了吃饭”.一个人之所以伟大,首先是因为他有超于常人的心。

amc82019年23题

AMC82019年第23题是关于篮球比赛得分的问题。

题目中提到,在Euclid高中的篮球赛后,发现队伍总分的4/5是由Alexa获得的,7/10是由Britany获得的,Chelsea得了15分。

队伍中的其他7个队员没有一个得分超过2分。

问其他7个队员获得的总分是多少分?
根据题目,我们可以进行以下分析:
计算Alexa的得分:Alexa的得分占总分的4/5,即(4/5) * 总分。

计算Britany的得分:Britany的得分占总分的7/10,即(7/10) * 总分。

计算Chelsea的得分:Chelsea得了15分。

计算其他7个队员的总得分:总得分- Alexa的得分- Britany的得分- Chelsea的得分。

具体计算过程如下:
总分= Alexa的得分+ Britany的得分+ Chelsea的得分+ 其他7个队员的总得分。

Alexa的得分= (4/5) * 总分。

Britany的得分= (7/10) * 总分。

Chelsea的得分= 15分。

其他7个队员的总得分= 总分- Alexa的得分- Britany的得分- Chelsea的得分。

通过以上计算,我们可以得到其他7个队员获得的总分为5分。

2019 AMC 8 Problems Problem 1Ike and Mike go into a sandwich shop with a total of to spend. Sandwiches cost each and soft drinks cost each. Ike and Mikeplan to buy as many sandwiches as they can and use the remaining money to buy soft drinks. Counting both soft drinks and sandwiches, how many items will they buy?Solution 1We maximize the number of sandwiches Mike and Ike can buy by finding the lowest multiple of that is less than This number isTherefore, they can buy sandwiches for They spend the remaining money on soft drinks, so they buy soft drinks. Combining the items, Mike and Ike buy soft drinks.The answer isProblem 2Three identical rectangles are put together to form rectangle , as shown in the figure below. Given that the length of the shorter side of each of the smaller rectangles is 5 feet, what is the area in square feet ofrectangle ?Solution 1We know that the length of the shorter side of the 3 identical rectangles are all 5 so we can use that by seeing that the longer side of the right rectangle is the same as 2 of the shorter sides of the other 2 left rectangles. This meansthat which is the longer side of the right rectangle, and because all the rectangles are congruent, we see that each of the rectangles have a longer side of 10 and a shorter side of 5. Now the bigger rectangle has a shorter length of 10(because the shorter side of the bigger rectangle is the bigger side of the shorter rectangle, which is 10) and so the bigger side of the bigger rectangle is the bigger side of the smaller rectangle + the smaller side of the smaller rectangle, which is . Thus, the area is forchoice ~~Saksham27Solution 2Using the diagram we find that the larger side of the small rectangle is 2 times the length of the smaller side. Therefore the longer side is . So the area of the identical rectangles is . We have 3 identical rectangles that form the large rectangle. Therefore the area of the large rectangleis . ~~fath2012Solution 3We see that if the short sides are 5, the long side has tobe because the long side is equal to the 2 short sides and because the rectangles are congruent. If that is to be, then the long side of the BIG rectangle(rectangle ) is because long side +short side of the small rectangle is . The short side ofrectangle is because it is the long side of the short rectangle. Multiplying and together gets us which is .~~mathboy282Problem 3Which of the following is the correct order of thefractions and from least to greatest?Solution 1Consider subtracting 1 from each of the fractions. Our new fractions would then be and . Since , it follows that the answeris-will3145Solution 2We take a commondenominator:Since it follows that the answeris .-xMidnightFirex~ dolphin7 - I took your idea and made it an explanation.Solution 3When and , . Hence, the answeris . ~ ryjsThis is also similar to Problem 20 on the AMC 2012.Problem 4Quadrilateral is a rhombus with perimeter meters. The length of diagonal is meters. What is the area in square meters ofrhombus ?Solution 1A rhombus has sides of equal length. Because the perimeter of the rhombusis , each side is . In a rhombus, diagonals are perpendicular and bisect each other, which means = = .Consider one of the right triangles:= , and = . Using Pythagorean theorem, we findthat = .Thus the values of the two diagonals are = and = . The area of a rhombus is = = =~phoenixfireSolution 2 (Heron's)Since a rhombus has sides ofequal length, . In triangle ABC, and . Using Heron's formula, we have. Simplifying, wehave so. ~~RWhiteProblem 5A tortoise challenges a hare to a race. The hare eagerly agrees and quickly runs ahead, leaving the slow-moving tortoise behind. Confident that he will win, the hare stops to take a nap. Meanwhile, the tortoise walks at a slow steady pace for the entire race. The hare awakes and runs to the finish line, only to find the tortoise already there. Which of the following graphs matches the description of the race, showing the distance traveled by the two animals over time from start to finish?Solution 1 (Using the answer choices)First, the tortoise walks at a constant rate, ruling out Second, when thehare is resting, the distance will stay the same, ruling out and . Third, the tortoise wins the race, meaning that the non-constant one should go off thegraph last, ruling out . Therefore, the answer is the only one left.Problem 6There are grid points (uniformly spaced) in the square shown in the diagram below, including the points on the edges. Point is in the center of the square. Given that point is randomly chosen among the other points, what is theprobability that the line is a line of symmetry for the square?Solution 1Lines of symmetry go through point , and there are directions the lines could go, and there are dots ateach direction.. ~heeeeeheeeeeeeProblem 7Shauna takes five tests, each worth a maximum of points. Her scores on the first three tests are , , and . In order to average for all five tests, what is the lowest score she could earn on one of the other two tests?Solution 1We should notice that we can turn the information we are given into a linear equation and just solve for our set variables. I'll use the variables and for thescores on the last two tests.We can now cross multiply to get rid of thedenominator. Now that we have this equation, we will assign as the lowest score of the two other tests, andso: Now we know that the lowest score on the two othertests is .~ aopsavSolution 2Right now, she scored and points, with a total of points. She wants her average to be for her tests so she needs to score points in total. She needs to score a total of points in her tests. So the minimum score she can get is when one of her scores is . So the least possible score she can get is . ~heeeeeeeheeeeeeNote: You can verify that is the right answer because it is the lowest answer out of the 5. Since it is possible to get 48, we are guaranteed that that is the right answer. ~~ gorefeebuddieSolution 3We can compare each of the scores with the averageof : , , , ;So the last one has to be (since all the differences have to sum to ), which corresponds to .Problem 8Gilda has a bag of marbles. She gives of them to her friend Pedro. Then Gilda gives of what is left to another friend, Ebony. Finally, Gildagives of what is now left in the bag to her brother Jimmy. What percentage of her original bag of marbles does Gilda have left for herself?Solution 1After Gilda gives % of the marbles to Pedro, she has % of the marbles left. If she then gives % of what's left to Ebony, she has = % of what she had at the beginning. Finally, she gives % of what's left to herbrother, so she has . of what she had in the beginning left.~heeeeeeeheeeeeeSolution 2Suppose Gilda has 100 marbles.Then she gives Pedro 20% of 100 = 20, she remains with 80 marbles.Out of 80 marbles she gives 10% of 80 = 8 to Ebony.Thus she remains with 72 marbles.Then she gives 25% of 72 = 18 to Jimmy, finally leaving her with 54.And =54%=~phoenixfireSolution 3 (Only if you have no time, do this method)Since she gave away 20% and 10% of what is left and then another 25% of what is actually left, we can do 20+10+25 or 55%. But it is actually going to be a bit more than 55% because 10% of what is left is not 10% of the total amount. Sothe only option that is greater than 100% - 55% is . ~~ gorefeebuddie Problem 9Alex and Felicia each have cats as pets. Alex buys cat food in cylindrical cans that are cm in diameter and cm high. Felicia buys cat food in cylindrical cans that are cm in diameter and cm high. What is the ratio of the volume one of Alex's cans to the volume one of Felicia's cans?Solution 1Using the formula for the volume of a cylinder, we get Alex, , and Felicia, . We can quickly notice that cancels out on both sides, and thatAlex's volume is of Felicia's leaving as the answer.~aopsavSolution 2Using the formula for the volume of a cylinder, we get that the volume of Alex's can is , and that the volume of Felicia's can is . Nowwe divide the volume of Alex's can by the volume of Felicia's can, so we get , which is ~~SmileKat32Solution 3The ratio of the numbers is . Looking closely at the formula , we see that the will cancel, meaning that the ratio of them willbeProblem 10The diagram shows the number of students at soccer practice each weekday during last week. After computing the mean and median values, Coach discovers that there were actually participants on Wednesday. Which of the followingstatements describes the change in the mean and median after the correction ismade?The mean increases by and the median does not change.The mean increases by and the median increases by .The mean increases by and the median increases by .The mean increases by and the median increases by .The mean increases by and the median increases by .Solution 1On Monday, people come. On Tuesday, people come. On Wednesday, people come. On Thursday, people come. Finally, onFriday, people come. , so themean is . The median is . The coach figures out that actually people come on Wednesday. The new mean is , while the new median is . The median and mean bothchange, so the answer is Another way to compute the change in mean is to notice that the sum increased by with the correction. So the average increased by .Problem 11The eighth grade class at Lincoln Middle School has students. Each student takes a math class or a foreign language class or both. There are eighth graders taking a math class, and there are eight graders taking a foreign language class. How many eighth graders take only a math class and not a foreign language class?Solution 1Let be the number of students taking both a math and a foreign language class.By P-I-E, we get = .Solving gives us .But we want the number of students taking only a math class.Which is .~phoenixfireSolution 2We have people taking classes. However we over-countedthe number of people who take both classes. If we subtract the original amount of people who take classes we get that people took the two classes. To find the amount of people who took only math class web subtract the people who didn'ttake only one math class, so we get -fath2012Solution 3We're basically just finding the number of students not taking a foreign languagesince all the rest would be taking only math.Problem12The faces of a cube are painted in six different colors: red , white ,green , brown , aqua , and purple . Three views of the cube are shown below. What is the color of the face opposite the aqua face?Solution 1is on the top, and is on the side, and is on the right side. That means that (image ) is on the left side. From the third image, you knowthat must be on the bottom since is sideways. That leaves us with the back, so the back must be . The front is opposite of the back, so the answeris .~heeeeeeeheeeeeSolution 2Looking closely we can see that all faces are connected with except for . Thus the answer is .Problem 13A palindrome is a number that has the same value when read from left to right or from right to left. (For example 12321 is a palindrome.) Let be the least three-digit integer which is not a palindrome but which is the sum of three distinct two-digit palindromes. What is the sum of the digits of ?SolutionNote that the only positive 2-digit palindromes are multiples of 11,namely . Since is the sum of 2-digit palindromes, is necessarily a multiple of 11. The smallest 3-digit multiple of 11 which is not a palindrome is 110, so is a candidate solution. We must check that 110 can be written as the sum of three distinct 2-digit palindromes; this sufficesas . Then , and the sum of the digits of is .Problem 14Isabella has coupons that can be redeemed for free ice cream cones at Pete's Sweet Treats. In order to make the coupons last, she decides that she will redeem one every days until she has used them all. She knows that Pete's is closed on Sundays, but as she circles the dates on her calendar, she realizes that no circled date falls on a Sunday. On what day of the week does Isabella redeem her first coupon?Solution 1Let to denote a day where one coupon is redeemed and the day when the second coupon is redeemed.If she starts on a she redeems her next coupon on .to .Thus is incorrect.If she starts on a she redeems her next coupon on .to .to .to .Thus is incorrect.If she starts on a she redeems her next couponon .to .to .to .to .And on she redeems her last coupon.No sunday occured thus is correct.Checking for the other options,If she starts on a she redeems her next coupon on . Thus is incorrect.If she starts on a she redeems her next coupon on .to .to .Checking for the other options gave us negative results, thus the answeris .~phoenixfireSolution 2LetWhich clearly indicates if you start form a you will not geta .Any other starting value may lead to a .Which means our answer is .~phoenixfireSolution 3Like Solution 2, let the days of the week be numbers. and arecoprime, so continuously adding to a number will cycle throughall numbers from to . If a string of 6 numbers in this cycle does not contain , then if you minus 3 from the first number of this cycle, it will always be . So, theanswer is . ~~SmileKat32Solution 4Since Sunday is the only day that has not been counted yet. We can just add the 3 days as it will become . ~~ gorefeebuddie Note: This only works when 7 and 3 are relatively prime.Problem 15On a beach people are wearing sunglasses and people are wearing caps. Some people are wearing both sunglasses and caps. If one of the people wearing a cap is selected at random, the probability that this person is is alsowearing sunglasses is . If instead, someone wearing sunglasses is selected at random, what is the probability that this person is also wearing acap?Solution 1The number of people wearing caps and sunglasses is . So then 14 people out of the 50 people wearing sunglasses also havecaps. ~heeeeeeheeeeeeProblem 16Qiang drives miles at an average speed of miles per hour. How many additional miles will he have to drive at miles per hour to average miles per hour for the entire trip?Solution 1(answer options)The only option that is easily divisible by is . Which gives 2 hours of travel. And by the formulaAnd =ThusBoth are equal and thus our answer is~phoenixfireSolution 2Note that the average speed is simply the total distance over the total time. Let the number of additional miles he has to drive be Therefore, the total distanceis and the total time (in hours) is We canset up the following equation: Simplifying the equation, we get Solving the equation yields so ouranswer is .~twinemmaSolution 3If he travels miles at a speed of miles per hour, he travels for 30 min. Average rate is total distance over total timeso , where d is the distance left to travel and t is the time to travel that distance. solve for to get . you also know that he has to travel miles per hour for some time, so plug that in for d to get and andsince , the answer is . Problem 17What is the value of theproductSolution 1We rewrite:The middle terms cancel, leaving us with~phoenixfireSolution 2If you calculate the first few values of the equation, all of the values tend to , but are not equal to it.

When the two dice are tossed, what is the probability that their sum will be an even number?Solution 1The approach to this problem: There are two cases in which the sum can be an even number: both numbers are even and both numbers are odd. This results in only one case where the sum of the numbers are odd (one odd and one even in any order) . We can solve for how many ways the numbers add up to an odd number and subtract the answer from .How to solve the problem: The probability of getting an odd number firstis . In order to make the sum odd, we must select an even number next. The probability of getting an even number is . Now we multiply the twofractions: . However, this is not the answer because we could pick an even number first then an odd number. The equation is the same except backward and by the Communitive Property of Multiplication, the equations are itdoes not matter is the equation is backward or not. Thus we do . This is the probability of getting an odd number. In order to get the probability ofgetting an even number we do- ViratKohli2018 (VK18)Solution 2We have a die with evens and odds on both dies. For the sum to be even, the rolls must consist of odds or evens.Ways to roll odds (Case ): The total number of ways to roll oddsis , as there are choices for the first odd on the first rolland choices for the second odd on the second roll.Ways to roll evens (Case ): Similarly, we have ways toroll evens.Totally, we have ways to roll dies.Therefore the answer is , or .~A1337h4x0rSolution 3 (Complementary Counting)We count the ways to get an odd. If the sum is odd, then we must have an evenand an odd. The probability of an even is , and the probability of an odd is . We have to multiply by because the even and odd can be in any order. Thisgets us , so the answer is . - juliankuang Solution 4To get an even, you must get either 2 odds or 2 evens. The probability of getting 2 odds is . The probability of getting 2 evens is . If you add them together, you get =Problem 19In a tournament there are six teams that play each other twice. A teamearns points for a win, point for a draw, and points for a loss. After all the games have been played it turns out that the top three teams earned the same number of total points. What is the greatest possible number of total points for each of the top three teams?Solution 1After fully understanding the problem, we immediately know that the three top teams, say team , team , and team , must beat the other threeteams , , . Therefore, ,, must eachobtain points. However, they play against each teamtwice, for a total of points against , , and . For gamesbetween , , , we have 2 cases. In both cases, there is an equality of points between , , and .Case 1: A team ties the two other teams. For a tie, we have 1 point, so wehave points (they play twice). Therefore, this case brings a total of points.Case 2: A team beats one team while losing to another. This gives equality, as each team wins once and loses once as well. For a win, we have points, so a team gets points if they each win a game and lose a game. Thiscase brings a total of points.Therefore, we use Case 2 since it brings the greater amount of points, or , so the answer is .~A1337h4x0rNote that case 2 can be easily seen to be better as follows. Let be the number of points gets, be the number of points gets, and be the number of points gets. Since , to maximize , we can just maximize . But in each match, if one team wins then the total sum increases by points, whereas if they tie, the total sum increasesby points. So it is best if there are the fewest ties possible.Solution 2(1st match(3) + 2nd match(1)) * number of teams(6) = 24, .Explanation: So after reading the problem we see that there are 6 teams and each team versus each other twice. This means one of the two matches has to be a win, so 3 points so far. Now if we say that the team won again and make it 6 points, that would mean that team would be dominating the leader-board and the problem says that all the top 3 people have the same score. So that means the maximum amount of points we could get is 1 so that each team gets the same amount of matches won & drawn so that adds up to 4. 4 * the number of teams(6)= 24 so the answer isProblem 20How many different real numbers satisfy the equationSolutionWe have that if and only if .If , then , giving 2 solutions.If , then , giving 2 more solutions. All four of these solutions work, so the answer is . Further,the equation is a quartic in , so by the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, there can be at most four real solutions.Problem 21What is the area of the triangle formed by the lines , , and ?Solution 1You need to first find the coordinates where the graphs intersect. ,and intersect at . , and intersect at . and intersect at . Usingthe Shoelace Theorem you get ==.~heeeeeeheeeeeSolution 2Graphing the lines, we can see that the height of the triangle is 4, and the base is 8. Using the formula for the area of a triangle, we get which is equalto . ~SmileKat32Problem 22A store increased the original price of a shirt by a certain percent and then lowered the new price by the same amount. Given that the resulting pricewas of the original price, by what percent was the price increased and decreased?Solution 1Suppose the fraction of discount is . Thatmeans ; so ,and , obtaining . Therefore, the price was increased and decreased by %, or .Solution 2(Answer options)Let the price be 100 and then trying for each option leads to .-phoenixfireSolution 3Let x be the discount. We can also work in reverse such as ()= .Thus = . Solving for givesus . But has to be positive. Thus = .Problem 23After Euclid High School's last basketball game, it was determined that of theteam's points were scored by Alexa and were scored by Brittany. Chelsea scored points. None of the other team members scored more than points What was the total number of points scored by the other team members?Solution 1Since and are integers, wehave . We see that the number of points scored by the other team members is less than or equal to and greater than or equal to . We let the total number of points be and the total number of points scored by the other team members, which meansthat, which means . The only value of that satisfies all conditions listed is , so . - juliankuang (lol im smart.) Solution 2Starting from the above equation where is the total number of points scored and is the number of points scored by the remaining 7 team members, we can simplify to obtain the Diophantineequation , or . Since is necessarily divisible by 28, let where and divide by 28 to obtain . Then it is easy to see () is the only candidate, giving . -scrabbler94Solution 3Fakesolve: We first start by setting the total number of points as ,since . However, we see that this does not work since we surpass the number of points just with the information given(). Next, we assume that the total number of points scored is . With this, we have that Alexa, Brittany, and Chelseascore: , and thus, the other seven players would have scored a total of (We see that this workssince we could have of them score points, and the other of themscore point) -aops5234Problem 24In triangle , point divides side sothat . Let be the midpoint of and let be thepoint of intersection of line and line . Given that the areaof is , what is the area of ?Solution 1Draw on such that is parallel to . That makestriangles and congruentsince . so .Since ( and ,so ), the altitude of triangle is equal to of the altitude of . The area of is , so the areaof ~heeeeeeeheeeee Solution 2 (Mass Points)First, when we see the problem, we see ratios, and we see that this triangle basically has no special properties (right, has medians, etc.) and this screams mass points at us.First, we assign a mass of to point . We figure out that has a massof since . Then, by adding , we get thatpoint has a mass of . By equality, point has a mass of also.Now, we add for point and for point .Now, is a common base for triangles and , so we figure out that the ratios of the areas is the ratios of the heights whichis . So, 's area is one third the area of , and weknow the area of is the area of since they have the same heights but different bases.So we get the area of as -BrudderNote: We can also find the ratios of the areas using the reciprocal of the product of the mass points of over the product of the mass pointsof which is which also yields -BrudderSolution 3is equal to . The area oftriangle is equal to because it is equal to on half of the area of triangle , which is equal to one third of the area of triangle , which is . The area of triangle is the sum of the areas oftriangles and , which is respectively and . So, is equal to =, so the area of triangle is . That minus the area of triangle is . ~~SmileKat32Solution 4 (Similar Triangles)Extend to such that asshown:Then and .Since , triangle has four times the area oftriangle . Since , we get .Since is also , we have becausetriangles and have the same height and same areas and so their bases must be the congruent. Thus triangle has twice the side lengths and therefore four times the area of triangle ,giving .(Credit to MP8148 for the idea)Solution 5 (Area Ratios)As before we figure out the areas labeled in the diagram. Then we notethat Solving gives . (Credit to scrabbler94 for the idea)Solution 6 (Coordinate Bashing)Let be a right triangle, andLetThe line can be described with the equationThe line can be described withSolving, we get andNow we can find-Trex4daysSolution 7Let =(the median divides the area of the triangle into two equal parts)Construction: Draw a circumcircle around with as is diameter. Extend to such that it meets the circle at . Draw line .(Since is cyclic)But is common in both with an area of 60.So, .\therefore (SAS Congruency Theorem).In , let be the median of .Which meansRotate to meet at and at . will fit exactlyin (both are radii of the circle). From the above solutions, .is a radius and is half of it implies = .Which meansThus~phoenixfire & flamewavelightSolution 8Using the ratio of and , we find the area of is and the areaof is . Also using the fact that is the midpoint of , we know . Let be a point such is parellel to . We immediatley know that by . Using that we can conclude has ratio .Using , we get . Therefore using the fact that is in , the area hasratio and we know hasarea so is . - fath2012Solution 9Labeling the areas in the diagram, we have:so .So our answer is . ~~RWhiteSolution 10 (Menelaus's Theorem)By Menelaus's Theorem on triangle , wehaveTherefore,Solution 11 (Graph Paper)Note: If graph paper isunavailable, this solution can still be used by constructing a small grid on a sheet of blank paper.As triangle is loosely defined, we can arrange its points such that the diagram fits nicely on a coordinate plane. By doing so, we can construct it on graph paper and be able to visually determine the relative sizes of the triangles. As point splits line segment in a ratio, we draw as avertical line segment units long. Point is thus unit belowpoint and units above point . By definition, Point splits linesegment in a ratio, so we draw units long directly leftof and draw directly between and , unit away from both.We then draw line segments and . We can easily tell thattriangle occupies square units of space. Constructing line and drawing at the intersection of and , we can easily see thattriangle forms a right triangle occupying of a square unit of space.。
