GOETHE An Schiller, 1794. PURE MATHEMATICS, I. (Geometry and Trigonometry) Time three hours. 1. Show how to find the lengths of two lines, when their difference and the rectangle contained by them are given. 2. Show that the three perpendiculars from the vertices of a triangle upon the opposite sides meet in a point. ABCD is a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle. AC and BD meet at right angles at O. DA and CB meet at E. Show that EO is at right angles to the straight line joining the middle points of AD and BC, 3. Show that if two triangles have one angle of the one equal to one angle of the other, and the sides about another angle of each proportional, the sides opposite the equal angles being homologous, the third angles of the triangle are either equal or supplementary. ACB is a right angled triangle inscribed in a semicircle, C being the right angle. A straight line DEFG meets BC produced in G, the semicircle in F, CA in E, and AB at right angles in D. Show that DE, DG = DF2. 4. Show that the rectangle contained by any two sides of a triangle is equal to the rectangle contained by the perpendicular on the third side, and the diameter of the circumscribing circle. AD is the perpendicular from the vertex A on the base BC. DE and DF are perpendiculars from D on the sides AB and AC. Show that the rectangle contained by the diameter and EF is twice the area of the triangle ABC. 5. Given the base BC of a triangle and the length of the straight line joining B to the middle point of the opposite side, show that the vertex must lie on a certain circle. 6. Show that if two parallel planes be cut by another plane their common sections with it are parallel. 7. Find the numerical value of the ratio between a side and a diagonal of a regular pentagon. 8. In the triangle ABC, the angles B and C differ by 90°, and the sides opposite these angles are in the ratio of 20 to 7. Find the values of the angles, given 9. If D is the middle point of the base of a triangle ABC, show that twice the area of the triangle is equal to (AD2 -- BD2) tan A. How do you interpret this result when AD is equal to BD? 10. The base of a circular tower subtends an angle A at a point in the same horizontal plane. At another point in the same plane, whose distance from the tower is greater by feet, the tower subtends an angle B. Find the distance of each point from the tower. 3. Find the value of x that satisfies the equation 4. If ax1+4bx3 + 6cx2 + 4dx + e is exactly divisible by ax3 +3bx2 +3cx+d, prove that the latter expression is a perfect cube and that the former expression = (ax +e*)*. |
