Chapter Lesson Chapter Lesson Set I (pages –) A chapter of Lawrence Wright’s Perspective in Perspective (Routledge & Kegan Paul ) is titled “Grand Illusions” and concerns various tricks played by architects with perspective Plato mentions the use of such tricks in the design of Greek temples such as the Parthenon Giotto’s campanile in Florence is unusual in its use of “counter perspective” The tower widens measurably upward and the upper levels become successively taller toward the top From the ground they can look almost equal Hat Illusion. •1. Either h > w, h = w, or h < w. 19. Because one has two equal sides and the other does not. (One is isosceles, the other scalene.) Perspective Inequalities. •20. ∠APB > ∠HPI. 21. ∠BPC > ∠CPD. •22. ∠PIH < ∠PBA. 23. ∠PHG < ∠PGF. 24. ∠PHI > ∠PGH and ∠PGH > ∠PFG; so ∠PHI > ∠PFG. 25. So that the upper levels would appear to be the same height when viewed from the ground. 2. The “three possibilities” property. Set II (pages –) 3. (Student answer.) (For most people, the hat appears to be taller than it is wide, and so h > w.) SAT Problem. 4. The hat is 1.7 cm high and its brim is 1.8 cm wide. Pecking Order. 5. Hen A will always peck hen C. •6. The transitive property. Equalities and Inequalities. 7. The “three possibilities” property. •8. Multiplication. 9. Subtraction. •26. Transitive. 27. Addition. 28. Substitution. (Substituting AC for AB + BC and CE for CD + DE in exercise 27.) 29. Could be false. (To see why, imagine that DE is much longer than it is.) •30. The “whole greater than part” theorem. 31. Transitive. (AB < BC is given and BC < BD in exercise 30.) Scalene Triangle. 32. 10. Substitution. •11. Addition. 33. 12. Division. Deceiving Appearances. 13. Isosceles. (Also acute.) •14. AB > BC. •15. Substitution. 16. Scalene. (Also acute.) 17. DF < DE. 18. The transitive property. •34. ∠A ≈ 83°, ∠B ≈ 56°, ∠C ≈ 41°. 35. ∠A > ∠B > ∠C. 36. Yes. The order corresponds to the order of the lengths of the opposite sides. Chapter Lesson Rectangle Inequalities. •37. 9 units. (2 ⋅ 4 + 2 ⋅ 0.5 = 9.) (5) AB = DB. (If two angles of a triangle are equal, the sides opposite them are equal.) (6) AC > DB. (Substitution.) 38. Yes. The “whole greater than part” theorem. 39. 2 square units. (4 ⋅ 0.5 = 2.) 40. No. This area problem shows why: 4 > 0 and 0.5 > 0, but 4 × 0.5 = 2 < 4. Vertical Lines and Angles. •41. That the line is “upright” (contains the center of the earth). 42. The sides of one angle must be opposite rays to the sides of the other angle. (It must also be true that two angles are equal if they are vertical angles.) 43. Yes: ∠1 and ∠2 are not vertical angles. If they were vertical angles, they would be equal. Because AB = AC, ∠2 = ∠3 (if two sides of a triangle are equal, the angles opposite them are equal). But ∠1 < ∠3; so ∠1 < ∠2 (substitution). 44. No. Because ∠2 = ∠3 (AB = AC) and ∠2 = ∠4, ∠3 = ∠4. The fact that two angles are equal does not mean, however, that they are necessarily vertical angles. 45. (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) Given. Addition.

(“Whole greater than part.”) (4) ∠ADB = ∠DAB. (Given.) Set III (page ) In Human Information Processing Peter H Lindsay and Donald A Norman deal with the logic of choice Concerning the three statements of the Set III exercises they write: “Almost without exception people agree that their own decision processes ought to be logical Moreover formal theories of decision making assume logical consistency: Preferences among objects ought to be consistent with one another If A is preferred to B and B to C then logically A should be preferred to C Transitivity of this sort is a basic property that just ought to hold anytime different objects are compared to one another These three rules constitute a sensible set of postulates about decision behavior Indeed if the rules are described properly so that the math ematical framework is removed they simply sound like common sense Those who study decision making however have discovered that there is a difference between the rules that people believe they follow and the rules that they actually do follow Thus although these three assumptions form the core of most decision theories it is also realized that they do not always apply There are some clear examples of instances in which each rule is violated” (The authors then give anecdotal examples of violations for each of the three rules) Martin Gardner treated the subject of non transitive paradoxes in one of his “Mathematical Games” columns It is included in his Time Travel and Other Mathematical Bewilderments (W H Freeman and Company ) 1. If you prefer an apple to a banana and a banana to a cookie, then you prefer an apple to a cookie. 2. The transitive property. 3. If you have no preference between an apple and a banana or between a banana and a cookie, then you have no preference between an apple and a cookie. 4. Substitution. Chapter Lesson 5. If you have no preference between an apple and a banana and you prefer a cookie to nothing at all, then you would prefer having an apple and a cookie to having just a banana. 13. No. The exterior angles at each vertex are vertical angles and vertical angles are equal. 14. Example figure: 6. Yes. If C > 0, then A + C > A. (Addition.) But A = B, so A + C > B. (Substitution.) Chapter Lesson Set I (pages –) Aristotle included a section on the causes of the rainbow in De Meteorologia According to Carl Boyer Aristotle’s work is “the first truly systematic theory of the rainbow that has come down to us” Boyer comments on the soundness of some of Aristotle’s geometrical arguments and says: “Had his successors continued his work at the same high level the story of the rainbow might not have been such a tale of frustration as it was destined to be” Garage Door. •1. ∠BCY, ∠BAX, ∠CAD(∠YAD). 2. It gets larger. •3. It gets smaller. 4. It gets smaller. 5. If two sides of a triangle are equal, the angles opposite them are equal. •6. An exterior angle of a triangle is greater than either remote interior angle. 7. Vertical angles are equal. 8. They are always equal. Because ∠B = ∠BAY and ∠BAY = ∠DAX, ∠B = ∠DAX by substitution. Exterior Angles. •9. ∠2, ∠5, ∠8. •10. Two. 11. Six. 12. Yes. If the triangle is equiangular, its exterior angles must all be equal because they are supplements of equal angles. 15.

It indicates that the sum is 720°. Chapter Lesson Set II (pages –) We are indebted to Proclus for his commentary on the first book of Euclid’s Elements It and the work of Pappus are our two main sources of information on the history of Greek geometry Proclus defended Euclid from the charge that he proved things that had no need of proof (More on this is included in Lesson of this chapter) 47. ∠APC > ∠AXC and ∠AXC > ∠B because an exterior angle of a triangle is greater than either remote interior angle. So ∠APC > ∠B by the transitive property. Proclus’s Proof. 48. If two sides of a triangle are equal, the angles opposite them are equal. Exterior Angle Theorem. 49. ∠1 = ∠C and ∠2 = ∠A. •32.

An angle is an exterior angle of a triangle if it forms a linear pair with an angle of the triangle. •41. The angles in a linear pair are supplementary. 42. If two angles are supplementary, their sum is 180°. Set III (page ) In his History of Mathematics David Eugene Smith includes a paragraph on “drumhead trigonometry” He wrote: “The continual warfare of the Renaissance period shows itself in many ways in the history of mathematics One of them is related to the subject now under consideration Several writers of the th century give illustrations of the use of the drumhead as a simple means of measuring angles of elevation in computing distances to a castle or in finding the height of a tower” The illustration is from S Belli’s Libro del Misvrar con la Vista (Book of Measuring with Eyesight) published in Venice in Drumhead Geometry. 1. •43. An exterior angle of a triangle is greater than either remote interior angle. 44. Addition. 45. Substitution. Angle in a Triangle. 46. 2. (About 4 in; more precisely, about 4 in.) 3. About 80 ft. Chapter Lesson Set I (pages –) There are now many more “anamorphic artists” painting streets than pictures The idea in using anamorphic figures as traffic markers is clearly not to make them difficult to recognize but Chapter Lesson rather just the opposite The driver of a moving car who is looking far ahead sees the markers from a sharp angle and hence sees them regain their “normal” shape An entire “Mathematical Games” column focuses on various types of anamorphic art (Scientific American January ) It is included in Martin Gardner’s Time Travel and Other Mathematical Entertainments (W H Freeman and Company ) “Triangles in perspective” is an interesting topic Suppose we have some wire frame models of triangles of various shapes What kinds of shadows can they cast? Can the shadow of an equilateral triangle look scalene? Can the shadow of an isosceles triangle look equilateral? Can the shadow of an obtuse triangle look acute? Does the shadow of a triangle always look like a triangle? What determines the smallest shadow that a triangle can cast? 16. 17. Obtuse. (Also, scalene.) •18. ∠A ≈ 29°, ∠B ≈ 104°, ∠C ≈ 47°.

If two sides of a triangle are equal, the angles opposite them are equal. •8. ∠A > ∠B. 9. ∠A < ∠B. •10. If two sides of a triangle are unequal, the angles opposite them are unequal in the same order. 11. ∠A > ∠B. 12. BC > AC. 13. Indirect. Triangle Drawing 1. •14. ∠B. 15. ∠A. •23. ∠X > ∠Y. 24. If two sides of a triangle are unequal, the angles opposite them are unequal in the same order. 25. ∠Z > ∠Y. 26. ∠Z > ∠X (given) and ∠X > ∠Y (exercise 23); so ∠Z > ∠Y by the transitive property. 27. XY > XZ. 28. If two angles of a triangle are unequal, the sides opposite them are unequal in the same order. Chapter Lesson Set II (pages –) 41. GH. •42. FG < GH because both are sides of ∆FGH in which GH is the longest side. 43. No. They can’t be congruent because FG and GH are corresponding parts of the triangles but they are not equal. 44. Yes. They are not congruent, because the shortest side of ∆IJK is IJ and the shortest side of ∆JKL is JK. IJ < JK because they are both sides of ∆IJK in which IJ is the shortest side. As with the preceding pair of triangles, these triangles cannot be congruent, because IJ and JK are corresponding parts of the triangles but they are not equal. •45. An equilateral triangle is equiangular. The exercises on the pairs of “not quite equilateral” triangles are more challenging than they first appear Some comparable drawings (above) in which the angles are ° ° and ° instead are revealing (Although the triangles in the second and third pairs are not congruent they are obviously similar We will return to these figures in the chapter on similarity) Folding Experiment. 29. (Triangle cut out and folded). •30. ∠BDE. 31. ∠BDE is an exterior angle of ∆DEC. 32. ∠BDE > ∠C. 33. If two sides of a triangle are unequal, the angles opposite them are unequal in the same order. •34. BE bisects ∠ABC. 35. ∆ABE ≅ ∆DBE (SAS); so ∠BDE = ∠A (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are equal). Not Quite Equilateral. •36. Yes. They are congruent by ASA. 46. Betweenness of Rays Theorem. •47. The “whole greater than part” theorem. 48. Substitution. 49. If two angles of a triangle are unequal, the sides opposite them are unequal in the same order. 50. Because ∠PXA is an exterior angle of ∆PXY, ∠PXA > ∠PYX. Because PX ⊥ AB, ∠PXA and ∠PXY are right angles; so ∠PXA = ∠PXY = 90°. Therefore, in ∆PXY, 90° > ∠PYX (substitution) and ∠PXY = 90°; so ∠PXY > ∠PYX (substitution again). It follows that PY > PX because, if two angles of a triangle are unequal, the sides opposite them are unequal in the same order. Set III (page ) The message says “HELLO.” (As Martin Gardner explains, “hold the page horizontally [with the bottom of the page] near the tip of your nose, close one eye, and read the message on a sharp slant.”) Chapter Lesson 37. AC. Set I (pages –) 38. BD. In Euclid—The Creation of Mathematics (Springer ) Benno Artmann quotes Proclus on the Triangle Inequality Theorem: 39. They are equal because corresponding parts of congruent triangles are equal. 40. FG. “The Epicureans are want to ridicule this theorem say it is evident even to an ass and needs no proof Chapter Lesson . . .they make [this] out from the observation that if hay is placed at one extremity of the sides an ass in quest of provender will make his way along the one side and not by way of the other two sides” 9. Not possible. Spotter Problem. •10. PA + PB > 12, PA + PC > 12, and PB + PC > 12. Artmann adds some pertinent remarks of his own: 11. (PA + PB) + (PA + PC) + (PB + PC) > 36. “(The Epicureans of today might as well add that one could see the proof on every campus where people completely ignorant of mathematics traverse the lawn in the manner of the ass) Proclus replies rightly that a mere perception of the truth of a theorem is different from a scientific proof of it which moreover gives reason why it is true In the case of Euclid’s geometry the triangle inequality can indeed be derived from the other (equally plausible) axioms On the other hand the Epicureans win in the modern theory of metric spaces where the triangle inequality is the fundamental axiom of the whole edifice” 12. 2PA + 2PB + 2PC > 36. The transits of Venus (the occasions when Venus is between the sun and Earth) are few and far between In fact there have been only six of them since the invention of the telescope ( ) The next transits will be on June and June In the past these alignments were used to determine the distance between Earth and the sun by timing the beginning and ending of a transit from widely separated geographical locations but such methods are now obsolete More information on the transits of Venus can be found in June —Venus in Transit by Eli Maor (Princeton University Press ) Donkey Sense. 1. The sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side. •2. DP + PH > DH. 3. DH + HP > DP; PD + DH > PH. 13. PA + PB + PC > 18. 14. It is more than 18 km. SAT Problem. 15. No. The sides of the triangle cannot be 2, 7, and 3, because 2 + 3 < 7. 16. One triangle. The only integer that will work for x is 6. Distance and Collinearity. •17. A, B, and C are not collinear. 18. In ∆ABC, AB + BC > AC. The sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side. •19. AB + BC = AC. 20. A, B, and C must be collinear. The Third Side. 21. Yes. Because the triangle is isosceles, the length of the third side must be either 4 or 9. It can’t be 4, because 4 + 4 < 9; so it must be 9. 22. Yes. From the Triangle Inequality Theorem we know that, if x is the length of the third side, then 5 + 7 > x, and 5 + x > 7. So 2 < x < 12. 23. If the length of the third side is x, then either x2 = 62 + 82 or 62 + x2 = 82. So either x2 = 36 + 64 = 100 and x = 10 or 36 + x2 = 64 so that x2 = 28 and x = ≈ 5.3. 4. A postulate. 5. No. Earth, Sun, and Venus. •6. They are collinear. •7. Yes; 160 million miles. (93 + 67 = 160.) 8. Yes; 26 million miles. (93 – 67 = 26.) Set II (pages –) Heron’s Proof. •24.

(1) x + 1.5 > 5.5 – x; so 2x > 4, and so x > 2. (2) x + (5.5 – x) > 1.5; so 5.5 > 1.5 (which doesn’t tell us anything about x). (3) 1.5 + (5.5 – x) > x; so 7 – x > x; so 7 > 2x, and so x < 3.5. 48.

The sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side. Set III (page ) We are of course assuming that our plane geometry is a reasonably good approximation for what is actually a problem in spherical geometry The distances in this problem are “air distances” as reported in the World Almanac The incorrect number is the distance between Paris and Rome; it is actually miles 1.

An exterior angle of a triangle is greater than either remote interior angle. 11. An exterior angle of a triangle is an angle that forms a linear pair with an angle of the triangle. •12. One angle has a measure of 179° and the other two angles are each less than 1°. 4. The London-Paris-Rome triangle, because 214 + 590 = 804 < 895. The Paris-Rome-Cairo triangle, because 590 + 1,326 = 1,916 < 1,998. 5. The length that the two impossible triangles have in common is 590, which suggests that the distance between Paris and Rome is wrong. 13. One angle is a right angle and the other two angles are acute. 14. Every triangle has several exterior angles that are obtuse; so this doesn’t tell us anything. Soccer Angle. 15.
