The source material identifies a variety of mathematical problems, or "sums", ranging from
basic proportionality theorem (BPT) applications to complex similarity proofs and numerical
calculations.
Basic Proportionality Theorem (BPT) & Converse Sums
Finding $x$ with Parallel Sides: Given $\triangle ABC$ where $DE \parallel BC$,
$AD=x$, $DB=x+1$, $AE=x+3$, and $EC=x+5$. Using the BPT ratio $\frac{AD}{DB} = \
frac{AE}{EC}$, the cross-multiplication leads to $x = 3$.
BPT Proportion MCQ: Identifying the correct ratio when $DE \parallel BC$. The
correct result is $\frac{AD}{AB} = \frac{AE}{AC}$.
Segment Calculation: In a triangle where $PQ \parallel BC$, given $\frac{AP}{PB} = \
frac{4}{13}$ and $AC = 20.4$. By expressing $QC$ as $20.4 - AQ$ and applying BPT,
$AQ = 4.8$.
Angle Calculation via Converse of BPT: In $\triangle ABC$, $AD=6, DB=9, AE=8,
EC=12$, and $\angle ADE=48^\circ$. Because the ratios $\frac{AD}{DB}$ and $\
frac{AE}{EC}$ both equal $\frac{2}{3}$, the lines $DE$ and $BC$ are parallel, meaning
$\angle ABC = 48^\circ$ due to corresponding angles.
Mid-point Theorem Proof: Using the converse of BPT to prove that a line joining the
midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side by showing the ratios
on both sides equal 1.
Trapezium Diagonals: Proving that the diagonals of a trapezium $ABCD$ (where
$AB \parallel DC$) intersect at $O$ such that $\frac{AO}{BO} = \frac{CO}{DO}$ by
constructing an auxiliary parallel line $OE$.
Similarity Sums (SSS, SAS, AA)
Nested Proportions: Given a figure with $AP=2, PX=1.5, BX=4$, and $QY=0.75$.
Applying similarity in stages determines $AQ = 1$ and $CY = 2$, resulting in $AQ + CY
= 3$.
Triangle Similarity by SSS: Comparing triangles where sides are in a $1:2$ ratio (e.g.,
$3.8/7.6, 6/12, 3\sqrt{3}/6\sqrt{3}$). If the corresponding angles match, specifically
$\angle C = 40^\circ$, then $\angle P = 40^\circ$.
Angle Sum in Similar Triangles: If $\triangle ABC \sim \triangle PQR$ with $\angle
A=30^\circ$ and $\angle Q=90^\circ$, find $\angle R + \angle B$. The angles are
found to be $60^\circ$ and $90^\circ$ respectively, totaling $150^\circ$.
Exterior Angle with Similarity: In a figure where $\triangle OSR \sim \triangle OQP$,
an exterior angle of $125^\circ$ is used to find $\angle OSR = 55^\circ$, which then
implies $\angle OQP = 55^\circ$.
Expressing $x$ Algebraically: In a diagram with $ST \parallel PQ$, $x$ is expressed in
terms of $a, b,$ and $c$ as $x = \frac{ac}{b+c}$ using the similarity of $\triangle
RTS$ and $\triangle RQP$.
Finding $PQ$ Length: In a nested triangle setup where $AP=1, PB=2$, and $BC=3.6$,
similarity shows $\frac{AP}{AB} = \frac{1}{3}$, leading to $PQ = 1.2$.
Right Triangle Altitude: In a right $\triangle CAB$ with $AD \perp BC$, given
$BC=10$ and $CD=2$. Using the similarity between the smaller triangles, $AD^2 =
CD \cdot DB$ ($2 \times 8 = 16$), giving $AD = 4$.
Median & Altitude Sums
Median Ratio Proof: Proving that if $\triangle ABC \sim \triangle DEF$ and $AP, DQ$
are medians, then $\frac{AB}{DE} = \frac{AP}{DQ}$.
Median Similarity Proof (The "Hard" Sum): Proving $\triangle ABC \sim \triangle
PQR$ given $\frac{AB}{PQ} = \frac{AC}{PR} = \frac{AD}{PM}$ (where $AD, PM$ are
medians) using a complex construction to double the length of the medians.
Altitude and Area Ratios: Given side ratios of $3/5$ and altitudes $AD, PS$. If
$AD=4$, then $PS = 20/3$. The ratio of the areas of these triangles is $(\frac{3}{5})^2
= \frac{\mathbf{9}}{\mathbf{25}}$.
Case Study Sums
Folding Table Legs: A case study where the relationship between table leg segments
is given by $\frac{3x+4}{x} = \frac{3x+19}{x+3}$. Solving this quadratic/linear hybrid
results in $x = 2$.
Interior Design Cabinet: Finding the ratio $PQ/EF$ in a triangle-shaped shelf. With
$DP=50$ and $PE=70$, the total length $DE=120$, making the ratio $50/120$ or
$5/12$.
