  • Many people requested this one. It was asked to 9th grade students in India who had only learned geometry, so you are supposed to solve it without using trigonometry. I thank Anand Gautam for discovering the incredible solution!

    @fabriciolopes6007 2 роки тому +1

    There is another elegant way to do this question, this was the way i did this question when it first came to me:
    My solution is about to prove that this EF segment defined by a 45° in the square is aways tangent to the quarter of circunference with unity radious and center in A.
    To do this take the quarter of circunference and trace a tangent segment of it, now with the intersection point "P" trace AP and look that the pairs of triangles ADE, APE and ABF,APF are congruents by the Side Side Angle case (SSA - common sides, unity side and straight angle). With it, see the congruence between DAE, PAE and PAF, BAP angles, nevertheless how DAE+PAE+PAF+BAP=90° and DAE=PAE, PAF=BAP, then PAE+PAF=45°, proving that EAF will aways be 45°.
    So, we can guarantee that if we pass a quarter circunference in the problem with radious 1 and center A it will tangent EF. Doing this, let the intersection be an X point, now observe the AXF and ABF triangles - they are congruent by the same case before - and see that AFB and AFX(AFX=AFE) angles are both 70°, letting angle AEF= 65°(AFE+FEA+EAF=180° - EAF=45°, AFE=70°).

  • @xz1891
    @xz1891 4 роки тому +5

    Presh's way ("half angle" model) is good, I just want to show alternative, which is good too. Draw FH perpendicular to AE and meet @ H, thus A,B,F,H and E,C,F,H are co-circular (concyclic), respectively.
    So ∠HBF=∠HAF=45° (circumferential angle), so BH must be the diagonal of ABCD; connect DH (which must be diagonal), so ∆ADH congruent to ∆CDH, thus ∠DAH=∠DCH=90-45-20=25°, hence, ∠HFE =25° too, bcz it's circumferential angle, so we get ∠AEF=90-25=65°
    As for second part of the problem, we can use Gougu theorems and similar triangles (∆ADE and ∆FHE) to get answer, that's 2 (for you guys to do 😁).

    Just saw the problem. But as a ninth grader in China, this is a model all of us had to learn "角含半角模型“ translated to an angle that is half of another angle. Basically, there is this thing that is always true, and it's that if there is a 45 degree angle inside a 90 degree angle, then BF+DE is always equal to EF. And if tanBAF=1/2, then tanDAE is always 1/3 ( The second part is proofed by the formula tan(a+b)= 1+tana+tanb/ 1-tanatanb). This is a problem that is really easy for us 9th graders in China, and there are all kinds of variations, like 30 degrees or 60 degrees, or removing some sides. Though it is good to see other countries actually have these kind of problems as well.

    It’s possible to prove, using the exact same argument, that EF is tangent to the circle centered in A with radius 1, for ALL pair of points EF on the sides such that EAF = 45.
    It’s easy to see that if P in EF is the circle’s point of tangency, then DE = EP and FB = FP.
    Therefore,
    p(CEF) = (CE + ED) + (CF + FB) = 2.

  • @vishalmishra3046
    @vishalmishra3046 3 роки тому

    Using *Trigonometry* - Angles around 45 are 90-70=20 and 90-(45+20)=25. Therefore all other sides (and therefore angles) become computable - AB=BC=CD=DA=1, AE=sec(25), AF=sec(20), DE=tan(25), BF=tan(20), EC=1-tan(25), FC=1-tan(20). Lastly, EF^2 = CF^2 + CE^2 = (1-tan(20))^2 + (1-tan(25))^2 = (tan(20)+tan(25))^2. The x and y in the video are tan(20) and tan(25).

    BF = tg BAF = tg π/9 . ED = tg DAE = tg 25 . therefore, we can easily get CE and CF. And then EF by Pythagoras theory. This also gives the 2 remaining angles of the triangle ECF by the relations : CFE = arcsin CE. And CEF = arcsin CF . on the other side , we know already that BAF = 20 ==> DAE = 90 - (45+20) = 25. So that DEA = 65. Which gives the angle AEF. Simple.

  • @leo_the_ukrainian

    It's much more simple actually. And the only possible answer is a bit unexpected
    Let's challenge the inputs of this task and look at the angle AEC
    try to follow my logic:
    1) AFB = 70 degrees
    then AFC = 180-70 = 120
    the sum of interior angles of quadrangle is 360 degrees
    then let's measure an angle AEC looking at AFCE quadrangle:
    AEC = 360 - EAF (45) - AFC (120) - FCE (90) = 105
    on the other hand:
    2) FAB = 180 - AFB (70) - ABF (90) = 20
    then, DAE = 90 - EAF (45) - FAB (20) = 25
    then, AED = 180 - EDA (90) - DAE (25) = 65
    if AED = 65, then AEC = 180 - 65 = 115
    so (1) gives us AEC at 105 degrees and (2) gives it at 115
    That means that inputs and hence the task iteself was wrong from the very beginning

    However, if you choose points E and F much closer to B and D, respectively, the resulting triangle CEF clearly has a perimeter larger than 2. If you don’t think so, draw it with angles AEB and AFD having angles of 89 degrees. The perimeter of triangle CEF approaches 2+ root2 as the angles AEB and AFD approach 90 degrees. Your proof in this case does not apply because the angle of rotation would be greater than 45 degrees, causing the construction it uses to be invalid. SO it's important to note that your proof only applies when angle EAF is a 45 degree angle.
