5 Chapter 1 Geometry Recreations 1.1 Routh s theorem If the sides BC, CA, AB of a triangle are divided by points X, Y, Z such that BX : XC = p :1, CY : YA= q :1, AZ : ZB = r :1, the area of the triangle bounded by the lines AX, BY, CZ is (pqr 1) 2 (pq + q +1)(qr + r +1)(rp + p +1). If p = q = r =2, for example, this area is 1 7. For what integers p, q, r is this a unit fraction? 1.2 Heron s formula The area of a triangle of given sides a, b, c is = s(s a)(s b)(s c), (1.1) where s = 1 2 (a + b + c). (1) Heron triangles can be formed by glueing two integer right triangles along a common side. But not every Heron triangle arises in this way. For example, the triangle (25,34,39) is one. Put the vertices of this triangle at points where the coordinates are integers. (2) There is an infinity of super-heron triangles: Heron triangles whose sides are three consecutive integers. If (a 1,a,a+1)is a Heron triangle, the middle side a is a term of the sequence (a n ), where a n+1 = a 2 n 2. Find the first term of this sequence, and a few more terms. Verify that each one of these does give a super Heron triangle.
6 2 Geometry Recreations 1.3 Proofs without words 1.4 Fun with the Geometer s Sketchpad Packings of circles O b Oa a Or b r A l B 1. O a O b = a + b. 2. AB =2 ab. 3. l = a + b r = 1 a + 1 b. If the middle circle has radius a and the other two have radii b, the radius of the left circle is c =2 ab + b. The width of the rectangle is 2(c + a) =2( a + b) 2. But this is also ( c + b) 2. From ( c + b) 2 =2(c + a). Eliminating a, wehave (b 2 c 2 ) 2 =16b 3 c. This diagram is not constructible with ruler and compass. How about c =( a + b) 2, ( c + b) 2 = c + a + (c + a) 2 a 2? 2c =( a + b) 2 ; ( c + b) 2 =( c + a) 2 +2a. 2 c( b a)=3a b; 4c( b a) 2 =(3a b) 2 ; 2(b a) 2 =(3a b) 2 ; 2b 2 4ab +2a 2 9a 2 +6ab b 2 =0; b 2 +2ab 7a 2 =0 (b + a) 2 =8a 2 ; b =(2 2 1)a.
7 1.4 Fun with the Geometer s Sketchpad 3 c Oc Oa a O b b b O b c Oc Oa O a a a Change the middle circle into radius d. Wehave2c =( a + b) 2. b +2 bc = a +2 d( a + c) From this, b( b +2 c) a d = 2( a + c) b( b + 2( a + b)) a = 2 a + 2( a + b) = ( 2+1)b + 2 ab a 2(( 2+1) a + b) = ( a + b)(( 2+1) b a) 2(( 2+1) a + b) Also, (b + d) 2 =(2 ad + a b) 2 +(2 ab + a d) 2. d = a( a + b)( a +( 2 1) b) = b +2 ab a a( a + b)( a +( 2 1) b) (( 2+1) a + b)( b ( 2 1) a).
8 4 Geometry Recreations Comparsion gives (( 2+1) b a) 2 = a( a +( 2 1) b) b ( 2 1) a. (1 + 2)b (4 2) ab a =0. If we take a =1, then b = a =1; b = ; c = ; d = b O b c Oa O d Oc a d Japanese c = AB; a = AB; c =(2 2 1) b. From these, it is easy to see that b = 1 8AB. This is the key to a simple construction. b a c Japanese Since the inradius of the right triangle is 1 4 of a leg, the right triangle is a (3,4,5) triangle. The base angle of the isosceles triangle is 2arctan 3 4 = arccos If we take the base to be 70, then the slant sides are 125 and the vertex is 120 above the base. The bottom incenter has coordinates (7,14).
9 1.4 Fun with the Geometer s Sketchpad 5 Japanese ab + 3b = l, 2a +3c = 3l, 3b + 3c +2 bc = 2l. From (1), 4ab =(l 3b) 2. From (2), 4ab =2 3lb 3bc. Therefore, l 2 2 3lb +3b 2 =2 3lb 3bc. I had no patience for the elimination, and applied Mathematica and obtain a = , b = , c = (3,4,5) triangle.
10 6 Geometry Recreations a +2 ab + 3b = l, a +2 ca +2c = 3l, 3b +2 bc + 3c = 2l. Write a = x 2, b = y 2, c = z 2. These equations become Completing the squares: x 2 +2xy + 3y 2 = 1, y yz + y 2 = 2 3, 2z 2 +2zx + x 2 = 3. Too difficult (y z) (y + z) 2 =1. 4
11 1.4 Fun with the Geometer s Sketchpad Malfatti squares Is there an easy construction of the Malfatti squares? In JTG, p.132, the sides of the squares are given as 4 a 2 + b 2 + c 2 +4 m a, etc., where m a, m b, m c are the lengths of the medians.
12 8 Geometry Recreations 1.5 Bankoff s Christmas tree problem An isosceles right triangle is inscribed in a semicircle and the radius bisecting the other semicircle is drawn. Circles are inscribed in the triangle and in the two quadrants as the figure. Prove that these three smaller circles are equal.
13 1.5 Bankoff s Christmas tree problem 9 JRM 6.4, Problem 306 Does there exist a scalene triangle with m a = t b = h c? It does not look likely from a sketch, which suggests that if this condition holds, the triangle must be equilateral. I think this has to do with a comparison of the angles.

Bankoff, JRM, Problem 290). What is the radius of the largest semicircle that touches all four sides of a unit square? (JRM, Problem 284). Determine the largest area that can be enclosed by a plane quadrilateral with sides 3, 7, 9, and 11 units in order. (JRM, Problem 464). Four points on a plane are at distances 1, 2, 3, 4 from a fixed point on the same plane. Find the largest possible area of the quadrilateral formed by the four points. (JRM, Problem 466). Given a triangle ABC, construct a square with two sides meeting at A and with the other two sides containing B and C respectively.
