Solution: The equation of a circle in the standard form is:
(π‘₯ βˆ’ π‘Ž)2 + (𝑦 βˆ’ 𝑏)2 = π‘Ÿ 2

(1)

r – Radius of a circle
(a;b) – Center coordinates
We should represent the given equation in the text as (1):
π‘₯ 2 + 6π‘₯ + 𝑦 2 βˆ’ 4𝑦 = βˆ’4
π‘₯ 2 + 6π‘₯ + 9 βˆ’ 9 + 𝑦 2 βˆ’ 4𝑦 + 4 = 0
So if we want our equation to be the same as (1), we should write it as complete square, like
π‘Ž2 + 2π‘Žπ‘ + 𝑏 2 = (π‘Ž + 𝑏)2
...
Now we have π‘₯ 2 + 6π‘₯ + 9, that is the same as
(π‘₯ + 3)2 ) and transfer -4 to the left side of the equation and write it after 𝑦 2 βˆ’ 4𝑦 (Now, 𝑦 2 βˆ’
4𝑦 + 4 = (𝑦 βˆ’ 2)2 )
...

The center = (βˆ’3; 2) , the radius π‘Ÿ = 3
...
14)
Put the value of r in (2):
𝐢 = 2πœ‹3 = 6πœ‹
Area of a circle:
𝐴 = πœ‹π‘Ÿ 2

(3)

Put the value of r in (3):
𝐴 = πœ‹32 = 9πœ‹
Answer: The center = (βˆ’3; 2) , π‘Ÿ = 3 , 𝐢 = 6πœ‹ , 𝐴 = 9πœ‹
...
So
𝐴𝐷 = 𝐷𝐡 =

𝐴𝐡

The tangent segments to a circle from an external point are
equal

We can use the Pythagorean theorem for any right triangle
...

𝐸𝑂2 + 𝐢𝐸 2 = 𝐢𝑂2
𝐸𝑂 = 𝑂𝐷 = π‘Ÿ, 𝐢𝐷 = β„Ž, 𝐢𝑂 = 𝐢𝐷 βˆ’ 𝑂𝐷 = β„Ž βˆ’ π‘Ÿ
Put those values into the above equation:
π‘Ÿ 2 + 𝐢𝐸 2 = (β„Ž βˆ’ π‘Ÿ)2
𝐢𝐸 2 = (β„Ž βˆ’ π‘Ÿ)2 βˆ’ π‘Ÿ 2
𝐢𝐸 2 = β„Ž2 βˆ’ 2β„Žπ‘Ÿ + π‘Ÿ 2 βˆ’ π‘Ÿ 2
𝐢𝐸 2 = β„Ž2 βˆ’ 2β„Žπ‘Ÿ
𝐢𝐸 = βˆšβ„Ž2 βˆ’ 2β„Žπ‘Ÿ
We should use the Pythagorean theorem one more time in βˆ†π΄πΆπ·:
𝐴𝐷2 + 𝐢𝐷2 = 𝐴𝐢 2
𝐴𝐷 =

𝐴𝐡

,

𝐢𝐷 = β„Ž,

𝐴𝐢 = 𝐴𝐸 + 𝐸𝐢 =

𝐴𝐡

Put those values into the above equation:

We expressed the length of the base using height h and radius r

the result

We want to find the ratio V1: V2
...
Let AEFKG be my and AABCD be ny
...

Volume of a frustum pyramid is
1

𝑉 = 3 𝐻(𝑄 + βˆšπ‘„π‘ž + π‘ž)

(1)

𝐻 – Height
𝑄 π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ π‘ž – Area of bases
The given plane parallel to the base will divide our
pyramid into two frustum pyramids
...


In upper pyramid height is PR= h/2, AEFKG= my and let ALMNO be A
...
Now we can write:

𝑉2 = 3 βˆ— 2 (𝐴 + √𝐴 βˆ— 𝑛𝑦 + 𝑛𝑦)
𝑉1
𝑉2

(2)

In order to find above ratio, we should express A in terms of y, because A is unknown
...

Let’s add top part to become the whole pyramid
...
Here is the property of similarity:

√AEFKG
√AABCD

=

𝑇𝑃
𝑇𝑆

Put the values:

βˆšπ‘šπ‘¦
√ny

=

𝑇𝑃
𝑇𝑆

𝑇𝑃 √m
=
𝑇𝑆 √n
Let TP be √mπ‘₯ and TS be √nπ‘₯


...
So:
𝑃𝑅 =

𝑃𝑆
2

𝑃𝑆 = 𝑇𝑆 βˆ’ 𝑇𝑃 = √nπ‘₯ - √mπ‘₯

,

𝑃𝑅 =

√nπ‘₯ βˆ’ √mπ‘₯
2

We will need TR:
𝑇𝑅 = 𝑇𝑃 + 𝑃𝑅 = √mπ‘₯

+

√nπ‘₯ βˆ’ √mπ‘₯

=

√nπ‘₯+ √mπ‘₯

Property of similarity:

𝑛π‘₯ 2 +2βˆšπ‘›π‘šπ‘₯2 +π‘šπ‘₯2

After reducing fraction to a simpler form (x^2) and multiplying both sides of equation by n,
we have:
𝑛+2βˆšπ‘›π‘š+π‘š

=

y

From here to isolate A, we should multiply both sides of equation by y:

Solution:
a) Let’s draw a line on the vertex B and the midpoint of the CD slope N
...
βˆ†NBC=βˆ†NED based on the
second sign of the equality of triangles, because
CN=DN (N is midpoint of CD), ∠BNC=∠END as
vertical angles and ∠NCB=∠NDE as alternate
interior angles (BC and AD parallel lines are
crossed by CD transversal)
...


Therefore, MN midsegment of trapezoid is the midsegment of βˆ†ABE triangle
...


b) MN is parallel to the base edges and 𝐴𝑀𝐡𝐢𝑁 = 𝐴𝐴𝑀𝑁𝐷
...

Area of trapezoid is:
𝐴=

π‘Ž+𝑏
βˆ—β„Ž
2

h – Height
a, b – bases
In our case 𝐴𝑀𝐡𝐢𝑁 =

π‘₯+𝑏
2

βˆ— β„Ž1 , 𝐴𝐴𝑀𝑁𝐷 =

π‘₯+π‘Ž
2

𝐴𝑀𝐡𝐢𝑁 = 𝐴𝐴𝑀𝑁𝐷
π‘₯+𝑏
π‘₯+π‘Ž
βˆ— β„Ž1 =
βˆ— β„Ž2
2
2
We should multiply both sides of equation by 2
...
To do that, we need to express β„Ž1 in terms of
β„Ž2
...
Let the height of βˆ†BEC be h
...
It means, that
these triangles are similar to each other and we can use the properties of similarity:
𝑏
π‘₯
𝑏
π‘Ž

β„Ž

= β„Ž+β„Ž

β„Ž

= β„Ž+β„Ž

1 +β„Ž2

(2)

(βˆ†BEC~βˆ†MEN, β€œ~” sign of similarity)

(3)

(βˆ†BEC~βˆ†AED)

From (2):
β„Žπ‘₯ = π‘β„Ž + π‘β„Ž1
β„Ž(π‘₯ βˆ’ 𝑏) = π‘β„Ž1
π‘β„Ž

β„Ž = π‘₯βˆ’π‘1
We expressed h in terms of h1
...

ON is parallel to BC and AD
...

Now we can write properties of similarity:

The names of given lengths:
2π‘Žπ‘

a) Arithmetic mean; b) Quadratic mean; c) Geometric mean; d) Harmonic mean (the same as π‘Ž+𝑏)

Solution:

Here is the sketch on the left
...


First we should draw AC diagonal and remove BF
and ED (look at the photo on the right)
...

Let’s write area of all triangles:

𝐴𝐡𝐢𝐹 =

𝐢𝐹 βˆ— β„Ž2
𝐹𝐷 βˆ— β„Ž2
; 𝐴𝐡𝐹𝐷 =
2
2

𝐴𝐸𝐡𝐷 =

𝐸𝐡 βˆ— β„Ž3
𝐴𝐸 βˆ— β„Ž3
; 𝐴𝐴𝐸𝐷 =
2
2

EB=AE and the height is same for both triangle – It means that AEBD= AAED
CF=FD and the height is same for both triangle – means that ABCF= ABFD

𝐴𝐸𝐡𝐹𝐷 = 𝐴𝐸𝐡𝐷 + 𝐴𝐡𝐹𝐷
𝐴𝐸𝐡𝐷 = 𝐴𝐴𝐸𝐷 ;

𝐴𝐡𝐹𝐷 = 𝐴𝐡𝐢𝐹

So:

𝐴𝐸𝐡𝐹𝐷 = 𝐴𝐴𝐸𝐷 + 𝐴𝐡𝐢𝐹
Now let’s add (1) and (2) equations:

(2)

𝐴𝐴𝐸𝐢𝐹 + 𝐴𝐸𝐡𝐹𝐷 = 𝐴𝐸𝐡𝐢 + 𝐴𝐴𝐹𝐷 + 𝐴𝐴𝐸𝐷 + 𝐴𝐡𝐢𝐹

(3)

We need to look at the first sketch and write the following:

𝐴𝐴𝐸𝐢𝐹 = 𝐴𝐴𝐸𝐺 + 𝐴𝐸𝐻𝐹𝐺 + 𝐴𝐻𝐢𝐹
𝐴𝐸𝐡𝐹𝐷 = 𝐴𝐸𝐡𝐻 + 𝐴𝐸𝐻𝐹𝐺 + 𝐴𝐺𝐹𝐷
𝐴𝐸𝐡𝐢 = 𝐴𝐸𝐡𝐻 + 𝐴𝐡𝐻𝐢 ; 𝐴𝐴𝐹𝐷 = 𝐴𝐴𝐺𝐷 + 𝐴𝐺𝐹𝐷
𝐴𝐴𝐸𝐷 = 𝐴𝐴𝐺𝐷 + 𝐴𝐴𝐸𝐺 ; 𝐴𝐡𝐢𝐹 = 𝐴𝐡𝐻𝐢 + 𝐴𝐻𝐢𝐹
Put these values into (3):
𝐴𝐴𝐸𝐺 + 𝐴𝐸𝐻𝐹𝐺 + 𝐴𝐻𝐢𝐹 + 𝐴𝐸𝐡𝐻 + 𝐴𝐸𝐻𝐹𝐺 + 𝐴𝐺𝐹𝐷 = 𝐴𝐸𝐡𝐻 + 𝐴𝐡𝐻𝐢 + 𝐴𝐴𝐺𝐷 + 𝐴𝐺𝐹𝐷 + 𝐴𝐴𝐺𝐷 +
𝐴𝐴𝐸𝐺 + 𝐴𝐡𝐻𝐢 + 𝐴𝐻𝐢𝐹
We have same values on both sides, so after simplifying:

2𝐴𝐸𝐻𝐹𝐺 = 2𝐴𝐡𝐻𝐢 + 2𝐴𝐴𝐺𝐷
𝐴𝐸𝐻𝐹𝐺 = 𝐴𝐡𝐻𝐢 + 𝐴𝐴𝐺𝐷
