Problem 1349
ReplyDeleteLet < AHB = < HBG = < AGB = θ.
AC2 = 2.CE2 = CE.CG, hence < CAE = < AGB = θ.
Since < CBP = < CAP =θ,
ABCP is concyclic and so
< CPE = < ABC = 90

ReplyDeleteIn the extension of AB to B above point K such that AB=BK=>triangleKAD=triangleAFR=E.So
KD=AE and KD perpendicular to AE.If the AE intersects the KD in Q and the BC in M. Then
BM=MC and EQ/QA=EM/AD=3/2 =>EQ/EA=3/5 (1).Is EP/PA=BE/AH=2/3 =>EP/EA=2/5(2).
From (1) and (2)=>EP/EQ=2/3=>EP/PQ=2/1=EC/CM=>CP//MQ=>CP is perpendicular in AE.

ReplyDeleteLet BH meet EF at K
Let AB=BC=CD=AD= 1
So EK= 2/3 and AE= sqrt(5)
Triangle ABP similar to EKP ( case AA)
PE/PA= EK/AB= 2/3
So PE=2/sqrt(5) and PA=3/sqrt(5)
And PE/EB= 1/sqrt(5) and CE/AE= 1/sqrt(5)
Triangle ECP similar to EBA ( case SAS)
So ∠ (CPE)= ∠ (EBA)= 90 degrees
Prove by similar triangles: △CPE similar to △ABE
ReplyDeleteLet CE=1. Then BE=2, AH=3
△BPE similar to △HPA (AAA) so AP:PE=3:2
AE=SQRT(5)
PE=2(SQRT(5)) / 5
Since <AEB=<CEP (common angle)
AE/BE= SQRT(5)/2
CE/PE= 1/ 2(SQRT(5)) / 5 = 5 / 2(SQRT(5)) = SQRT(5) / 2
Hence △CPE similar to △ABE ( ratio of 2 sides, inc.<)
Since <ABC=90 degrees, <CPE is therefore 90 degrees. (proved)
Problem !349 is more amenable for analytic proof:
ReplyDeleteLet A = (0,0), D = (1,0), B = (0,1)
Then C = (1,1), E = (2,1), F = (2,0), H = (3,0)
Equations: BH: x + 3y = 3, AE: x - 2y = 0,
their intersection P = (6/5,3/5)
Slopes: of AE = 1/2, of CP = -2
Hence their product being -1, they are perpendicular.
Great work! you guys really know what you are doing! WOW just WOW!
