AMC数学竞赛试题AMC数学竞赛是美国数学协会(AMC)主办的一项全球性数学竞赛活动,旨在促进学生对数学的兴趣和能力的培养。
本文将介绍一道AMC数学竞赛试题,并进行详细解析。
题目描述某AMC数学竞赛试题为:在正方形ABCD中,点E是边BC的中点,点F是边CD上的一点,且DF=CF。
连接线段AD与线段CF交于点G。
如果角ADG为45度,且面积△AFG为24平方单位,求正方形ABCD的面积。
解题思路我们可以通过观察题目中的信息,并利用几何图形的性质来解答这道题目。
首先,假设正方形ABCD的边长为a个单位。
由于点E是边BC的中点,所以线段AE与线段ED的长度相等,都等于a/2个单位。
同理,线段BF的长度也等于a/2个单位。
连接线段AD与线段CF,并设交点为G。
由于角ADG为45度,可以推导出△AFG为等腰直角三角形。
而已知△AFG的面积为24平方单位,所以可以得出AG和GF的长度都为√24=2√6个单位。
进一步观察,可以发现三角形△ADF和△GFC相似,因为∠ADF和∠GFC均为90度,且∠ADF=∠GFC=45度(根据题目中所给信息)。
根据相似三角形的性质,我们可以得到以下比例关系: AD/AF = GF/FC代入已知值和已推导出的值,可以得到:a/(a/2) = 2√6/(a/2) 解方程后可得:a^2 = 24 所以,正方形ABCD的面积为a^2 = 24个单位。
结论通过对题目所给信息的观察和利用几何图形的性质,《AMC数学竞赛试题》可以得到正方形ABCD的面积为24个单位。
这道题目考察了几何图形的相似性质和解方程的能力,对于参加数学竞赛的学生来说,是一道很好的训练题目。

Therefore, Judi's portion must be . Since Judi was supposed to pay of the total bill, the total bill must be .5.The median here is obviously less than the mean, so option (A) and (B) are out.Lining up the numbers (5, 5, 6, 8, 106), we see that the median weight is 6 pounds.The average weight of the five kids is .Therefore, the average weight is bigger, by pounds, making the answer.6.Solution 1: Working BackwardsLet the value in the empty box in the middle row be , and the value in the empty box in the top row be . is the answer we're looking for.We see that , making .It follows that , so .Solution 2: Jumping Back to the StartAnother way to do this problem is to realize what makes up the bottommost number. This method doesn't work quite as well for this problem, but in a larger tree, it might be faster. (In this case, Solution 1 would be faster since there's only two missing numbers.)Again, let the value in the empty box in the middle row be , and the value in the empty box in the top row be . is the answer we're looking for.We can write some equations:Now we can substitute into the first equation using the two others:7.If Trey saw , then he saw .2 minutes and 45 seconds can also be expressed as seconds.Trey's rate of seeing cars, , can be multiplied by on the top and bottom (and preserve the same rate):. It follows that the most likely number of cars is . Solution 2minutes and seconds is equal to .Since Trey probably counts around cars every seconds, there are groups of cars that Trey most likely counts. Since , the closest answer choice is .8.First, there are ways to flip the coins, in order.The ways to get two consecutive heads are HHT and THH.The way to get three consecutive heads is HHH.Therefore, the probability of flipping at least two consecutive heads is .9.This is a geometric sequence in which the common ratio is 2. To find the jump that would be over a 1000 meters, we note that .However, because the first term is and not , the solution to the problem is10. To find either the LCM or the GCF of two numbers, always prime factorize first.The prime factorization of .The prime factorization of .Then, find the greatest power of all the numbers there are; if one number is one but not the other, use it (this is ). Multiply all of these to get 5940.For the GCF of 180 and 594, use the least power of all of the numbers that are in both factorizations and multiply. = 18.Thus the answer = = .We start off with a similar approach as the original solution. From the prime factorizations, the GCF is .It is a well known fact that . So we have,.Dividing by yields .Therefore, .11. We use that fact that . Let d= distance, r= rate or speed, and t=time. In this case, let represent the time.On Monday, he was at a rate of . So, .For Wednesday, he walked at a rate of . Therefore, .On Friday, he walked at a rate of . So, .Adding up the hours yields + + = .We now find the amount of time Grandfather would have taken if he walked at per day. Set up the equation, .To find the amount of time saved, subtract the two amounts: - = . To convert this to minutes, we multiply by .Thus, the solution to this problem is12. First, find the amount of money one will pay for three sandals without the discount. We have.Then, find the amount of money using the discount: .Finding the percentage yields .To find the percent saved, we have13. Let the two digits be and .The correct score was . Clara misinterpreted it as . The difference between the two is which factors into . Therefore, since the difference is a multiple of 9, the only answerchoice that is a multiple of 9 is .14. The probability that both show a green bean is . The probability that both show a red bean is . Therefore the probability is15.Therefore, .Therefore, .To most people, it would not be immediately evident that , so we can multiply 6's until we get the desired number:, so .Therefore the answer is .16. Solution 1: AlgebraWe multiply the first ratio by 8 on both sides, and the second ratio by 5 to get the same number for 8th graders, in order that we can put the two ratios together:Therefore, the ratio of 8th graders to 7th graders to 6th graders is . Since the ratio is in lowest terms, the smallest number of students participating in the project is .Solution 2: FakesolvingThe number of 8th graders has to be a multiple of 8 and 5, so assume it is 40 (the smallest possibility). Then there are 6th graders and 7th graders. The numbers of students is17. Solution 1The mean of these numbers is . Therefore the numbers are, so the answer isSolution 2Let the number be . Then our desired number is .Our integers are , so we have that.Solution 3Let the first term be . Our integers are . We have,18. Solution 1There are cubes on the base of the box. Then, for each of the 4 layers above the bottom (as since each cube is 1 foot by 1 foot by 1 foot and the box is 5 feet tall, there are 4 feet left), there arecubes. Hence, the answer is .Solution 2We can just calculate the volume of the prism that was cut out of the original box. Each interior side of the fort will be feet shorter than each side of the outside. Since the floor is foot, the height will be feet. So the volume of the interior box is .The volume of the original box is . Therefore, the number of blocks contained inthe fort is .19. If Hannah did better than Cassie, there would be no way she could know for sure that she didn't get the lowest score in the class. Therefore, Hannah did worse than Cassie. Similarly, if Hannah did worse than Bridget, there is no way Bridget could have known that she didn't get the highest in the class.Therefore, Hannah did better than Bridget, so our order is .20.A semicircle has symmetry, so the center is exactly at the midpoint of the 2 side on the rectangle, making the radius, by the Pythagorean Theorem, . The area is .21.The number of ways to get from Samantha's house to City Park is , and the number of ways toget from City Park to school is . Since there's one way to go through City Park (just walking straight through), the number of different ways to go from Samantha's house to City Park to school .22. There are vertical columns with a length of toothpicks, and there are horizontal rows with a length of toothpicks. An effective way to verify this is to try a small case, i.e. a grid of toothpicks.Thus, our answer is .23. Solution 1If the semicircle on AB were a full circle, the area would be 16pi. Therefore the diameter of the first circle is 8. The arc of the largest semicircle would normally have a complete diameter of 17. The Pythagoreantheorem says that the other side has length 15, so the radius is .Solution 2We go as in Solution 1, finding the diameter of the circle on AC and AB. Then, an extended version of the theorem says that the sum of the semicircles on the left is equal to the biggest one, so the area of thelargest is , and the middle one is , so the radius is .24.First let (where is the side length of the squares) for simplicity. We can extend until it hits theextension of . Call this point . The area of triangle then is The area of rectangle is . Thus, our desired area is . Now, the ratio of the shaded area to thecombined area of the three squares is .Let the side length of each square be .Let the intersection of and be .Since , . Since and are vertical angles, they are congruent. We also have by definition.So we have by congruence. Therefore, .Since and are midpoints of sides, . This combined with yields.The area of trapezoid is .The area of triangle is .So the area of the pentagon is .The area of the squares is .Therefore, .Let the intersection of and be .Now we have and .Because both triangles has a side on congruent squares therefore .Because and are vertical angles .Also both and are right angles so .Therefore by AAS(Angle, Angle, Side) .Then translating/rotating the shaded into the position ofSo the shaded area now completely covers the squareSet the area of a square asTherefore, .25. Solution 1The radius of the ball is 2 inches. If you think about the ball rolling or draw a path for the ball (see figure below), you see that in A and C it loses inches, and it gains inches on B.So, the departure from the length of the track means that the answer is . Solution 2The total length of all of the arcs is . Since we want the path from the center, the actual distance will be shorter. Therefore, the only answer choice less than is . Thissolution may be invalid because the actual distance can be longer if the path the center travels is on the outside of the curve, as it is in the middle bump.古希腊哲学大师亚里士多德说:人有两种,一种即“吃饭是为了活着”,一种是“活着是为了吃饭”.一个人之所以伟大,首先是因为他有超于常人的心。

2018数学建模美赛题目
2018年数学建模美赛题目如下:
A题是多跳高频(HF)广播传播问题。
在高频(HF,定义为3-30 MHz)上,无线电波可以通过电离层和地球以外的多次反射传播很长的距离。
对于低于最大可用频率(MUF)的频率,来自地面源的HF无线电波从电离层反射回地球,在此它们可能再次反射回电离层,在此又可能反射回地球,依此类推。
随着每个连续的跃点走得更远。
除其他因素外,反射表面的特性决定了反射波的强度以及信号最终传播的距离,同时又保持了有用的信号完整性。
而且,MUF随季节、一天中的时间和太阳条件而变化。
MUF上方的频率不会被反射/折射,而是通过电离层进入太空。
在这个问题中,重点特别放在
海洋表面的反射上。
C题是能源生产问题。
能源生产和使用是任何经济结构的主要部分。
这个问题提供了一个数据集,包含了美国四个州在过去50年的能源生产和消费数据,以及一些人口和经济信息。
参赛者需要使用这些数据来回答以下问题:这四个州的能源生产和消费模式有何不同?这些模式如何随时间变化?这些模式如何与人口和经济活动相关联?如何预测未来的能源生产和消费趋势?如何优化能源生产和消费以减少对环境的影响?

AMC12真题和答案解析AMC12,即美国数学竞赛12级,是美国数学协会(American Mathematical Society)举办的一项年度竞赛,旨在选拔优秀的数学学生并促进数学学科的发展。
对于许多对数学有着浓厚兴趣的学子来说,AMC12是一次考验自己数学能力和解题能力的机会。
在AMC12中,每年都会发布一套面向高中生的真题。
这些真题是经过一系列筛选和验证的,确保其具有一定的难度和挑战性。
以下将对一些AMC12真题进行解析,帮助解题过程中可能出现的疑惑。
首先,我们来看一个经典的AMC12真题:问题:在坐标平面上,点A和点B的坐标分别为(2,3)和(4,5)。
如果通过点C(0,k)且垂直于线段AB的直线将线段AB分成两段长度相等的线段,求k的值。
解析:首先,我们可以计算出线段AB的长度为$\sqrt{(4-2)^2+(5-3)^2} = \sqrt{8} = 2\sqrt{2}$。
然后,我们知道通过两点之间的直线的斜率等于这条直线与任一直线垂直的直线的斜率的相反数。
因此,线段AB的直线的斜率为$\frac{5-3}{4-2}=\frac{1}{2}$。
而垂直于直线斜率为$\frac{-2}{1}$的直线的斜率为2。
由此可得直线的斜率为-2。
因为直线过点C(0,k),可以利用斜截式方程$y=mx+b$来求解。
代入坐标C的值得到$k=2$。
因此,答案为k=2。
接下来,我们再来看一个稍微更复杂一点的问题:问题:给定方程$x^2+3x+2 < 0$,求解x的取值范围。
解析:这是一个关于二次函数的不等式。
我们可以将方程转化为$x^2+3x+2=0$,并求解出方程的根。
通过求解得知$x=-1$和$x=-2$。
因为不等式中的不等号是小于号,因此我们需要找出二次函数的凹凸性。
由于二次函数的系数a大于0,因此它开口朝上,表明当x小于-2或者大于-1时,不等式成立。
因此,x的取值范围为$(-\infty,-2)\cup(-1,\infty)$。
