A plane passing through the vertex $A$ and the center of its inscribed sphere of a tetrahedron $ABCD$ intersects its edge $BC$ and $CD$ at point $E$ and $F$, as shown. If $AEF$ divides this tetrahedron into two equal volume parts: $A-BDEF$ and $A-CEF$, what is the relationship between these two parts' surface areas $S_1$ and $S_2$ where $S_1 = S_{A-BDEF}$ and $S_1=S_{A-CEF}$? $(A) S_1 < S_2\quad(B) S_1 > S_2\quad (C) S_1 = S_2 \quad(D) $ cannot determine


As shown, $E, F, G, H$ are midpoints of the four sides. If $AB\parallel A'B', BC\parallel B'C',$ and $CD\parallel C'D'$, show that $AD\parallel A'D'$.


Let quadrilateral $ABCD$ inscribe a circle. If $BE=ED$, prove $$AB^2+BC^2 +CD^2 + DA^2 = 2AC^2$$


Let $H$ be the orthocenter of acute $\triangle{ABC}$. Show that $$a\cdot BH\cdot CH + b\cdot CH\cdot AH+c\cdot AH\cdot BH=abc$$ where $a=BC, b=CA,$ and $c=AB$.

In tetrahedron $P-ABC$, $AB=BC=CA$ and $PA=PB=PC$. If $AB=1$ and the altitude from $P$ to $ABC$ is $\sqrt{2}$, find the radius of $P-ABC$'s inscribed sphere.

Let $AB=2$ is a diameter of circle $O$. If $AC=AO$, $AC\perp AB$, $BD=\frac{3}{2}\cdot AB$, $BD\perp AB$ and $P$ is a point on arc $AB$. Find the largest possible area of the enclosed polygon $ABDPC$.


As shown, two identical circles are internally tangent to each other and also tangent to a $5-12-13$ triangle. Find the circle's radius.

Six rectangles each with a common base width of 2 have lengths of 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, and 36. What is the sum of the areas of the six rectangles?

In trapezoid $ABCD$, $AD\parallel BC$ and $AD:BC=1:2$. Point $F$ lies on $AB$ and point $E$ is on $CF$. If $S_{\triangle{AOF}}:S_{\triangle{DOE}}=1:3$ and $S_{\triangle{BEF}}=24$, find the area of $\triangle{AOF}$.


David found four sticks of different lengths that can be used to form three non-congruent convex cyclic quadrilaterals, $A,\text{ }B,\text{ }C$, which can each be inscribed in a circle with radius $1$. Let $\varphi_A$ denote the measure of the acute angle made by the diagonals of quadrilateral $A$, and define $\varphi_B$ and $\varphi_C$ similarly. Suppose that $\sin\varphi_A=\frac{2}{3}$, $\sin\varphi_B=\frac{3}{5}$, and $\sin\varphi_C=\frac{6}{7}$. All three quadrilaterals have the same area $K$, which can be written in the form $\dfrac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.


The three segments marked with lengths are perpendicular to each other. Find the area of the outside square.



Circle $\omega$ is inscribed in unit square $PLUM$ and poins $I$ and $E$ lie on $\omega$ such that $U$, $I$, and $E$ are collinear. Find, with proof, the greatest possible area for $\triangle{PIE}$.
