ExampleIn a triangle with integer side lengths, one side is three times as long as a second side, and the length of the third side is 15. What is the greatest possible perimeter of the triangle?

8

By triangle inequality, we have: 3 X – X < 15 Hence 2X < 15 X < 15/2 = 7.5

X 153X

X must be an integer, so the largest X = 7And the largest perimeter = 7 + 3*7 + 15 = 43

Page 9: Geometry Review Lines and Angles Triangles Polygons 1 Circles 3-D Geometry Similarity & Scales.

ExampleIn quadrilateral ABCD, AB=5, BC=17, CD=5, DA=9, and BD is an integer. What is BD?

9

By triangle Inequality: BD < AD + AB = 9 + 5 = 14

By triangle Inequality: BD > BC – CD = 17 – 5 = 12

Hence we have: 12 < BD < 14, and BD is an integer

Answer: BD = 13

Page 16: Geometry Review Lines and Angles Triangles Polygons 1 Circles 3-D Geometry Similarity & Scales.

ExampleNon-degenerate ABC has integer side lengths, BD is an angle bisector, AD = 3, and DC = 8. What is the smallest possible value of the perimeter?

16

From Bi-Sector theorem, we have AB / BC = 3/ 8Hence AB = 3/8 * BCThe smallest BC to make AB an integer will be 8This gives AB = 3/8 * 8 = 3, and AB + BC = 11

and we get: AB + BC = AC --- invalid triangle!

ExampleNon-degenerate ABC has integer side lengths, BD is an angle bisector, AD = 3, and DC = 8. What is the smallest possible value of the perimeter?

17

So BC = 8 is not a valid answer!!!The next smallest BC to make AB = 3/8 * BC an integer is 16.This gives AB = 3/8 * BC = 3/8 * 16 = 6And we get the smallest perimeter: 6 + 16 + 11 = 33

A rectangle with diagonal length 1, height is twice as long as it is wide. What is the area of the rectangle?

Thus the area of the rectangle: A = w * h = w * (2w) = 5/5 * 2 * 5/5 = 2/5

Let XOY be a right triangle with XOY=90. Let M and N be the midpoints of legs OX and OY, respectively. Given that XN=19 and YM=22, find XY.

Sum of interior angles of a N-polygon 180 * (N – 2)

A N-polygon can be divided into N – 2 triangles.

Sum of exterior angles = 360

Page 23: Geometry Review Lines and Angles Triangles Polygons 1 Circles 3-D Geometry Similarity & Scales.

A regular polygon has interior angles measuring 179, and a side length of 2cm. What is the perimeter of the polygon?

23

Since the interior angle is 179, the exterior angle is 1 Thus there are 360 / 1 = 360 exterior angles.And there are 360 sides, each of length 2 cm.Hence the perimeter = 2 * 360 = 720

Scale & Similarity

50

When the side lengths of any polygon (or radius of circle) are increased by a factor S, then the area is increased by a factor S2

The ratio between any corresponding edges is the same between any similar polygons

Rules for similar triangles: SAS, AAA, SSS

When the side lengths of any 3-D solid are increased by a scale factor of S, then the surface area is increased by a scale factor of S2, and the volume is increased by a scale factor of S3

Correspond angles have the same measure between any similar polygons
