Regular polygons and circles
-
problemInvestigate the properties of quadrilaterals which can be drawn with a circle just touching each side and another circle just touching each vertex. -
problemLOGOsquares
Ten squares form regular rings either with adjacent or opposite vertices touching. Calculate the inner and outer radii of the rings that surround the squares.
-
problemCircles ad infinitum
A circle is inscribed in an equilateral triangle. Smaller circles touch it and the sides of the triangle, the process continuing indefinitely. What is the sum of the areas of all the circles?
-
problemBall bearings
If a is the radius of the axle, b the radius of each ball-bearing, and c the radius of the hub, why does the number of ball bearings n determine the ratio c/a? Find a formula for c/a in terms of n.
-
problemSo big
One side of a triangle is divided into segments of length a and b by the inscribed circle, with radius r. Prove that the area is: abr(a+b)/ab-r^2 -
problemOrthogonal circle
Given any three non intersecting circles in the plane find another circle or straight line which cuts all three circles orthogonally.
