PMATH 320: Euclidean Geometry Assignment 2
Due: Thursday May 23 2024 at 11:59pm on Crowdmark
Question 1. Let △ABC be a triangle of perimeter p. Show that the sum of the lengths of the medians of the triangle lies in the interval [4/3 p, p].
Hint: Use the triangle inequality and the fact that the medians all intersect at a points G.
Question 2. Use Heron’s formula to
a) compute the area of a triangle with side lengths 12,13 and 23.
b) Find a symmetric polynomial f(a, b, c) such that for a triangle with side lengths a, b, c and area one has
Question 3. Let △ABC and △A′B′C ′ be similar triangles.
a) Show that
b) Use part a) to prove the Pythagorean Theorem.
Hint: Make a line from the vertex with the right angle perpendicular to the opposite side and notice some similar triangles.
Question 4. Let △ABS be a triangle with side lengths a, b, c. Let ra, rb, rc be the radii of the excircles and let S be the semiperimeter.
a) Show that
Area(△ABC) = (S − a) · ra = (S − b) · rb = (S − c) · rc
b) Let r be the radius of the incircle of △ABC. Show that
