The square ABCD is split into three triangles by the lines BP and
CP. Find the radii of the three inscribed circles to these
triangles as P moves on AD.
Given a square ABCD of sides 10 cm, and using the corners as
centres, construct four quadrants with radius 10 cm each inside the
square. The four arcs intersect at P, Q, R and S. Find the area
enclosed by PQRS.
Two circles of equal size intersect and the centre of each circle
is on the circumference of the other. What is the area of the
intersection? Now imagine that the diagram represents two spheres
of equal volume with the centre of each sphere on the surface of
the other. What is the volume of intersection?
M is any point on the line AB. Squares of side length AM and MB are
constructed and their circumcircles intersect at P (and M). Prove
that the lines AD and BE produced pass through P.
Triangle ABC has altitudes h1, h2 and h3. The radius of the
inscribed circle is r, while the radii of the escribed circles are
r1, r2 and r3 respectively. Prove: 1/r = 1/h1 + 1/h2 + 1/h3 = 1/r1
+ 1/r2 + 1/r3 .
Show that for any triangle it is always possible to construct 3
touching circles with centres at the vertices. Is it possible to
construct touching circles centred at the vertices of any polygon?
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.
Three semi-circles have a common diameter, each touches the other
two and two lie inside the biggest one. What is the radius of the
circle that touches all three semi-circles?
