Problem 24.6.2

AMC 8

A triangle with vertices as A=(1,3)A = (1, 3), B=(5,1)B = (5, 1), and C=(4,4)C = (4, 4) is plotted on a 6×56\times 5 grid. What fraction of the grid is covered by the triangle?

Problem 24.6.3

Problem 24.6.4

AMC 8

In the figure below, choose point DD on BC‾\overline{BC} so that △ACD\triangle ACD and △ABD\triangle ABD have equal perimeters. What is the area of △ABD\triangle ABD?

Problem 24.6.5

AMC 8

In the non-convex quadrilateral ABCDABCD shown below, ∠BCD\angle BCD is a right angle, AB=12AB = 12, BC=4BC = 4, CD=3CD = 3, and AD=13AD = 13. What is the area of quadrilateral ABCDABCD?

Problem 24.6.6

AMC 8

The triangular plot of ACD lies between Aspen Road, Brown Road and a railroad. Main Street runs east and west, and the railroad runs north and south. The numbers in the diagram indicate distances in miles. The width of the railroad track can be ignored. How many square miles are in the plot of land ACD?

Problem 24.6.7

AMC 8

In square ABCEABCE, AF=2FEAF = 2FE and CD=2DECD = 2DE. What is the ratio of the area of △BFD\triangle BFD to the area of square ABCEABCE?

Problem 24.6.8

AMC 8

Rectangle ABCDABCD and right triangle DCEDCE have the same area. They are joined to form a trapezoid, as shown. What is DEDE?

Problem 24.6.9

AMC 8

Problem 24.6.11(additional)

AMC 8

In triangle ABCABC, point DD divides side AC‾\overline{AC} so that AD:DC=1:2AD : DC = 1 : 2. Let EE be the midpoint of BD‾\overline{BD} and let FF be the point of intersection of line BCBC and line AEAE. Given that the area of △ABC\triangle ABC is 360360, what is the area of △EBF\triangle EBF?

Problem 24.6.12(additional)

BmMT

Right triangle △ABC\triangle ABC has AB=5AB = 5, BC=12BC = 12, and CA=13CA = 13. Point DD lies on the angle bisector of ∠BAC\angle BAC such that CDCD is parallel to ABAB. Compute the length of BDBD.

Problem 24.6.13(additional)

BmMT

In right triangle △ABC\triangle ABC with AB=5AB = 5, BC=12BC = 12, and CA=13CA = 13, point DD lies on CACA such that AD=BDAD = BD. The length of CDCD can then be expressed in the form mn\frac{m}{n} for relatively prime positive integers mm and nn. Compute m+nm + n.
