Title: random geometry puzzle
Post by: vh on September 20, 2012, 05:26:09 PM
i tried to draw this but ended up wasting and hour making wobbly lines:

in a circle g, the chords ab, bc, and ca make a triangle. the arc bca is bisected into two congruent arcs by a point m between the points c and a. the line segment ca has a point d. point d connects to point m by a line segment that is perpendicular to the line segment ca. a quadrilateral consisting of points c, b, e, and f is constructed where e and f are outside of circle g. point f is the center of circle f. A circle h is tangent to cb, be, ef, and fc. the angle fbe is a right angle. the line segment da is 5 units long. the line segment cb is 2 units long, the line segment fc is 3 units long, the line segment be is 4 segments long. Based on this, what is the area of the segment of circle f which is enclosed by chord cb and the circle itself.

this *should* be solvable.

kol.

if, you are interested in figuring it out, i'll draw it out for you.

basic, not to scale drawing. you will need to read anyways to match up all the points.

no this is accurately drawn.
