A circle is inscribed in a triangle (that is, the circle touches the sides of the triangle on the inside). Let the radius of the circle be \(r\) and the perimeter of the triangle be \(p\). Prove that the area of the triangle is \(\frac{pr}{2}\).
We meet a group of people, all of whom are either knights or liars. Knights always tell the truth and liars always lie. Prove that it’s impossible for someone to say “I’m a liar".
We’re told that Leonhard and Carl are knights or liars (the two of them could be the same or one of each). They have the following conversation.
Leonhard says “If \(49\) is a prime number, then I am a knight."
Carl says “Leonhard is a liar".
Prove that Carl is a liar.
Let \(p\) be a prime number greater than \(3\). Prove that \(p^2-1\) is divisible by \(12\).
You meet an alien, who you learn is thinking of a positive integer \(n\). They ask the following three questions.
“Am I the kind who could ask whether \(n\) is divisible by no primes other than \(2\) or \(3\)?"
“Am I the kind who could ask whether the sum of the divisors of \(n\) (including \(1\) and \(n\) themselves) is at least twice \(n\)?"
“Is \(n\) divisible by 3?"
Is this alien a Crick or a Goop?
Find the mistake in the sequence of equalities: \(-1=(-1)^{\frac{2}{2}}=((-1)^2)^{\frac{1}{2}}=1^{\frac{1}{2}}=1\).
A circle with center \(A\) is inscribed into a square \(CDFE\). A line \(GH\) intersects the sides \(CD\) and \(CE\) of the square and is tangent to the circle at the point \(I\). Find the perimeter of the triangle \(CHG\) (the sum of lengths of all the sides) if the side of the square is \(10\)cm.
The triangle visible in the picture is equilateral. The hexagon inside is a regular hexagon. If the area of the whole big triangle is \(18\), find the area of the small blue triangle.
In a pentagon \(ABCDE\), diagonal \(AD\) is parallel to the side \(BC\) and the diagonal \(CE\) is parallel to the side \(AB\). Show that the areas of the triangles \(\triangle ABE\) and \(\triangle BCD\) are the same.
