Triangle BCD is an isosceles triangle such that DB = BC. Find the value of X if it is the measure in degrees of angle EDC and X < 180. X E 120 150 D 70 B A 3) Moe and Larry race from point B to point S at a rectangular field. Moe runs from B to A to S at an average rate of 5 feet every second. Larry runs diagonally across the field from B to S at an average rate of 10 feet every 3 seconds. If they both leave point B at the same time, then who wins the race? Also, by how many seconds does the winner finish ahead of the runner-up? (You must answer both questions correctly to receive credit.) S E ANSWERS 50 feet 1) __________ cm 2) __________ B 120 feet A 3) __________ winner _________ seconds www.imlem.org Solutions to Category 2 Geometry Meet #3 - January, 2014 Answers 1) 1) Use the Pythagorean Theorem twice - first to find the length of WX and then XY. 24 2) 155 3) Moe 5 Use this result to find XY: 2) The measure of angle DBA is 20 degrees, because the sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is 360 degrees. The measure of angle DBC is 70 degrees, because angle ABC is a right angle (90 degrees). Since two sides (DB and BC) of triangle DBC are congruent, the angles opposite those sides are congruent. The vertex angle, DBC, measures 70 degrees, so the base angles are 55 degrees each, including angle BDC. angle X + 150 + 55 = 360, so X = 155. 3) Both answers must be answered correctly in order for students to receive credit. Moe: runs 120 + 50, or 170 feet. At a rate of 5 feet per second, it takes him 170 / 5, or 34 seconds to reach point S. Larry: Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find that he has run 130 feet. At a rate of 10 feet every 3 seconds, it takes him (130 / 10) x 3, or 39 seconds to reach point S. Moe, therefore, reaches point S ahead of Larry by 39 - 34, or by 5 seconds, so Moe wins the race. www.imlem.org Meet #3 January 2012 Category 2 – Geometry (11, 4) 1.

The horizontal distance is Answers 1. 2. 3. units, and the vertical distance is units, so the total distance is √ units. 2. The formula for the number of diagonals in a polygon with N sides is: so in our case we’ll have diagonals. 3. The exterior angles of a polygon all add up to 360 degrees, so if there are sides to the polygon, then each exterior angle measures Every interior angle measures degrees. degrees, and their sum is therefore degrees. So in our case we’re told that: whice we can rewrite as: . Though this is technically a quadratic equation, we know that number and can easily find that [The other solution, is a natural is a solution (an Octagon). , is clearly not an answer to our problem]. www.imlem.org Category 2 - Geometry Meet #3, January 2010 1. The number of diagonals in a polygon is four times the number of its vertices. How many vertices does it have? (A diagonal is a line segment that connects two non-adjacent vertices of a polygon). 2. The exterior angle to a regular polygon N (with N sides) is half that of a regular polygon M (with M sides). Polygon N has 7 times as many diagonals as polygon M. What is the value of 𝑀 ∙ 𝑁? 3.

If we call the number of vertices V, then the number of diagonals is given by the formula: 𝑉×(𝑉−3) 2 and for this to equal 4 × 𝑉 we get 2. The exterior angle is Polygon M will have 360 𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑠 𝑀∙(𝑀−3) 2 𝑉−3 2 = 4 or 𝑉 = 11. so it should be clear that 𝑁 = 2𝑀. diagonals, and polygon N will have 𝑁∙(𝑁−3) 2 = 2𝑀∙(2𝑀−3) 2 diagonals. So we need to solve: 2𝑀 ∙ 2 ∙ 𝑀 − 3 = 7 ∙ 𝑀 ∙ 𝑀 − 3 which we can simplify to 4 ∙ 𝑀 − 6 = 7𝑀 − 21 and then to 3 ∙ 𝑀 = 15 and the solution is 𝑀 = 5, 𝑁 = 10 and 𝑀 ∙ 𝑁 = 50. 3. At 12:00pm, having walked for two hours, Tom is 10 miles to the east of his original location, which means he’s 8 miles east of Jerry’s original location. Jerry, after running at 9 mph for 1 hour and 40 minutes is 15 miles north of his (own) original location. The distance between them is 82 + 152 = 289 = 17 𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑒𝑠. Note that we have to compare their locations to some ‘fixed’ or agreed-upon point. You could have used any other point-of-reference and get the same answer. www.imlem.org Category 2 Geometry Meet #3, January 2008 1. If the exterior angle of a regular polygon is 24 degrees, how many sides does the polygon have? 2. In the figure to the right, four of the sides of a regular polygon are shown. Also drawn are all of the diagonals that use A as one of the endpoints of the diagonal; however the full lengths of the diagonals are not always shown. How many diagonals does this polygon have? 3. A In the figure below, triangle ABC is a right triangle with right angle at A and quadrilateral BCDE is a square. If AB = 8 and AC = 18 , what is the area of the pentagon ABEDC? B C A E Answers 1. _______________ 2. _______________ 3. _______________ D Solutions to Category 2 Geometry Meet #3, January 2008 Answers 1. 15 1. Since the sum of the exterior angles is always 360 degrees, if you divide 360 degrees by 24 degrees you get 15 which is the number of equal exterior angles and therefore 15 vertices and sides to the polygon. 2. 44 3. 20 2. If there are 8 diagonals and only 2 of the diagonals’ other endpoints are shown there must be 6 vertices that are not shown. Since 5 vertices are shown there are a total of 11 vertices and 11 sides. If there are 11 sides there are diagonals total. 3. Using the Pythagorean Theorem: → √8 √18 → 8 18 26 is the area of the square, the area of square EBCD is 26.

A certain polygon has 2 12 times as many diagonals as sides. How many sides are there on this polygon? Note: A diagonal is a line segment that connects two non-adjacent vertices of a polygon. 3. Three right triangles are joined together to form the concave pentagon shown below. The measure of GA is 15 units, AS is 20 units, SM is 21 units, and ME is 35 units. How many units are in the perimeter of pentagon GAMES? M A Answers 1. _______________ 2. _______________ 3. _______________ G www.imlem.org S E Solutions to Category 2 Geometry Meet #3, January 2006 Answers 1. 156 2. 8 3. 132 1. If we draw line segments from one vertex to all the non-adjacent vertices, we can subdivide the 15-gon into 13 triangles. Each triangle has an angle sum of 180 degrees, so the sum of the interior angles of the 15-gon must be 13 × 180 = 2340 degrees. Since the 15-gon is regular, this total is shared equally among the 15 interior angles. Each interior angle must have a measure of 2340 ÷ 15 = 156 degrees. 2. The polygon in question must have an even number of sides, since we are multiplying by 2 12 and the number of diagonals must be a whole number. A square has only 2 diagonals, so let’s try a hexagon. From each vertex of a hexagon we can draw 3 diagonals. If we simply multiply 6 × 3, we will have counted each diagonal twice, so there must be only 6 × 3 ÷ 2 = 9 diagonals in a hexagon. This is only 1 12 times the number of sides. Now let’s try an octagon. From each vertex of an octagon we can draw 5 diagonals. That’s 8 × 5 ÷ 2 = 20 diagonals in all. Twenty is exactly 2 12 times 8, so our polygon has 8 sides. 3. We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the lengths of sides AM, GS, and SE. Let the the measure of AM be x. Then 20 2 + 212 = x 2 . This means x 2 = 400 + 441 = 841. Since 29 2 = 841, x must be 29 units. Let the measure of GS be y. Then 15 2 + 20 2 = y 2 . (Here we might recognize a multiple of the 3-4-5 Pythagorean Triple.) This means y 2 = 225 + 400 = 625. Since 25 2 = 625, y must be 25 units. Finally, let the measure of SE be z. Then 212 + z 2 = 35 2 . This means z 2 = 35 2 − 212 = 1225 − 441 = 784 . Since 28 2 = 784 , z must be 28 units. The perimeter of polygon GAMES is thus 15 + 29 + 35 + 28 + 25 = 132 units. www.imlem.org M 29 A 15 G 21 35 20 S 25 28 E Category 2 Geometry Meet #3, January 2004 1. How many diagonals can be drawn in a decagon? Note: A decagon is a polygon with 10 sides and a diagonal of a polygon is a segment which connects any two non-consecutive vertices. 2. A regular polygon has an interior angle measure that is greater than 144 degrees and less than 150 degrees. How many sides does the polygon have? 3. In the figure at right, every quadrilateral is a square and every triangle is a right triangle. The area of square ABCD is 144 square units and the area of square EFGH is 16 square units. Length LK is 5 units. How many units are in the perimeter of the figure (polygon ABCEFGIJKLMN)?

From each of the ten vertices of a decagon, one can draw seven diagonals. If we multiply 7 by 10 to get 70, we will have counted every diagonal twice. Therefore there must be 70 ÷ 2 = 35 diagonals in a decagon. Answers 1. 35 2. 11 2. A polygon with n sides can be subdivided into n – 2 triangles, each with an angle sum of 180. This gives the n-gon a total angle sum of 180(n − 2) or 180n − 360 . If the n-gon is regular, then all n of its interior angles will have the angle measure (180n − 360) n . We need to solve the double inequality 144 < (180n − 360) n < 150 for a whole-number value of n. 3. 100 144 < (180n − 360) n (180n − 360) n < 150 144n < 180n − 360 180n − 360 < 150n 360 < 180n −144n 180n −150n < 360 360 < 36n 30n < 360 10 < n n < 12 The only whole number value between 10 and 12 is 11, so the polygon must have 11 sides. 3. Square ABCD has an area of 144 square units, so its side length is 12. Length DL is 5, so triangle ADL is a 5-12-13 triangle as the Pythagorean Theorem confirms: 5 2 + 12 2 = 25 + 144 = 169 and 13 2 = 169 . We are also given that square EFGH has an area of 16 square units, so its side length is 4 units. Triangle EHK is a 3-4-5 triangle, since 5 2 − 4 2 = 25 −16 = 9 and 3 2 = 9 . We can now label all the side lengths in the figure as shown at right. The perimeter is 12 + 12 + 13 + 4 + 4 + 5 +3 + 3 + 5 + 13 + 13 + 13 = 100 units. www.Imlem.org 12 C 13 B 4 F4 E D 12 G I 5 3 K L5 3J A 13 13 N H 13 M
