    Individual Round: Geometry Subject Test


    1. AD and BC are both perpendicular to AB, and CD is perpendicular to AC. If AB = 4
    and BC = 3, find CD.

    2. As shown, U and C are points on the sides of triangle M N H such that M U = s,


    U N = 6, N C = 20, CH = s, HM = 25. If triangle U N C and quadrilateral M U CH
    have equal areas, what is s?

    3. A room is built in the shape of the region between two semicircles with the same center
    and parallel diameters. The farthest distance between two points with a clear line of
    sight is 12m. What is the area (in m2 ) of the room?

    4. Farmer John is inside of an ellipse with reflective sides, given by the equation x2 /a2 +
    y 2 /b2 = 1, with a > b > 0. He is standing at the point (3, 0), and he shines a laser
    pointer in the y-direciton. The light reflects off the ellipse and proceeds directly toward
    Farmer Brown, traveling a distance of 10 before reaching him. Farmer John then spins
    around in a circle; wherever he points the laser, the light reflects off the wall and hits
    Farmer Brown. What is the ordered pair (a, b)?

    5. Consider a 2003-gon inscribed in a circle and a triangulation of it with diagonals
    intersecting only at vertices. What is the smallest possible number of obtuse triangles
    in the triangulation?

    6. Take a clay sphere of radius 13, and drill a circular hole of radius 5 through its center.
    Take the remaining “bead” and mold it into a new sphere. What is this sphere’s
    radius?

    7. Let RST U V be a regular pentagon. Construct an equilateral triangle P RS with point


    P inside the pentagon. Find the measure (in degrees) of angle P T V .

    8. Let ABC be an equilateral triangle of side length 2. Let ω be its circumcircle, and let
    ωA , ωB , ωC be circles congruent to ω centered at each of its vertices. Let R be the set
    of all points in the plane contained in exactly two of these four circles. What is the
    area of R?

    9. In triangle ABC, 6 ABC = 50◦ and 6 ACB = 70◦ . Let D be the midpoint of side
    BC. A circle is tangent to BC at B and is also tangent to segment AD; this circle
    instersects AB again at P . Another circle is tangent to BC at C and is also tangent
    to segment AD; this circle intersects AC again at Q. Find 6 AP Q (in degrees).

    10. Convex quadrilateral M AT H is given with HM/M T = 3/4, and 6 AT M = 6 M AT =


    6 AHM = 60◦ . N is the midpoint of M A, and O is a point on T H such that lines

    M T, AH, N O are concurrent. Find the ratio HO/OT .
