AMC真题 17

In $\triangle ABC$ shown in the figure, $AB=7$ , $BC=8$ , $CA=9$ , and $\overline{AH}$ is an altitude. Points $D$ and $E$ lie on sides $\overline{AC}$ and $\overline{AB}$ , respectively, so that $\overline{BD}$ and $\overline{CE}$ are angle bisectors, intersecting $\overline{AH}$ at $Q$ and $P$ , respectively. What is $PQ$ ?

$amc真题$

AMC真题解答1

Get the area of the triangle by heron's formula: $amc真题$ Use the area to find the height AH with known base BC: $amc真题$ $AH = 3\sqrt{5}$ $BH = \sqrt{AB^2 - AH^2} = \sqrt{7^2 - (3\sqrt{5})^2} = 2$ $amc真题$ Apply angle bisector theorem on triangle $ACH$ and triangle $ABH$ , we get $AP:PH = 9:6$ and $AQ:QH = 7:2$ , respectively. To find AP, PH, AQ, and QH, apply variables, such that $AP:PH = 9:6$ is $\frac{3\sqrt{5} - x}{x} = \frac{9}{6}$ and $AQ:QH = 7:2$ is $\frac{3\sqrt{5} - y}{y} = \frac{7}{2}$ . Solving them out, you will get $AP = \frac{9\sqrt{5}}{5}$ , $PH = \frac{6\sqrt{5}}{5}$ , $AQ = \frac{7\sqrt{5}}{3}$ , and $QH = \frac{2\sqrt{5}}{3}$ . Then, since $AP + PQ = AQ$ according to the Segment Addition Postulate, and thus manipulating, you get $amc真题$ = $amc真题$

AMC真题解答 2

Let the intersection of $BD$ and $CE$ be the point $I$ . Then let the foot of the altitude from $I$ to $BC$ be $I'$ . Note that $II'$ is an inradius and that $II' \cdot s = [ABC]$ , where $s$ is the semiperimeter of the triangle.

Using Heron's Formula, we see that $II' \cdot 12 = \sqrt{12 \cdot 3 \cdot 4 \cdot 5} = 12\sqrt{5}$ , so $II' = \sqrt{5}$ .

Then since $II'$ and $AH$ are parallel, $\triangle CI'I \sim \triangle CHP$ and $\triangle BHQ \sim \triangle BI'I$ .

Thus, $\frac{II'}{PQ + QH} = \frac{CI'}{CH}$ and $\frac{II'}{QH} = \frac{BI'}{BH}$ , so $amc真题$ .

By the Dual Principle, $CI' = 5$ and $BI' = 3$ . With the same method as Solution 1, $CH = 6$ and $BH = 2$ . Then $PQ = \frac{8}{15} II' =$ $\boxed{\textbf{(D)}\frac{8}{15}\sqrt{5}}$

AMC真题解答3 (if you're running short on time)

$PQ$ lies on altitude $AH$ , which we find to have a length of $3\sqrt{5}$ by Heron's Formula and dividing twice the area by $BC$ . From H we can construct a segment $HX$ with $X$ on $CE$ such that $HX$ is parallel to $EB$ . A similar construction gives $Y$ on $BD$ such that $HY$ is parallel to $DC$ . We can hence generate a system of ratios that will allow us to find $PQ/AH$ . Note that such a system will generate a rational number for the ratio $PQ/AH$ . Thus, we choose the only answer that has a $\sqrt{5}$ term in it, giving us $\textbf{D}$ .
