PROBLEMS IN PLANE AND SOLID
GEOMETRY
v.1 Plane Geometry
Viktor Prasolov
translated and edited by Dimitry Leites
Abstract. This book has no equal. The priceless treasures of elementary geometry are
nowhere else exposed in so complete and at the same time transparent form. The short
solutions take barely 1.5 − 2 times more space than the formulations, while still remaining
complete, with no gaps whatsoever, although many of the problems are quite difficult. Only
this enabled the author to squeeze about 2000 problems on plane geometry in the book of
volume of ca 600 pages thus embracing practically all the known problems and theorems of
elementary geometry.
The book contains non-standard geometric problems of a level higher than that of the
problems usually offered at high school. The collection consists of two parts. It is based on
three Russian editions of Prasolov’s books on plane geometry.
The text is considerably modified for the English edition. Many new problems are added
and detailed structuring in accordance with the methods of solution is adopted.
The book is addressed to high school students, teachers of mathematics, mathematical
clubs, and college students.

[...]... the extensions of sides AB and CD (Fig 12) Denote by M1 and P1the other intersection points of lines RT and QP with the circle Figure 12 (Sol 1.65) Since T M1 = RM = AQ and T M1 AQ, it follows that AM1 T Q Similarly, AP1 RP Since ∠M1 AP1 = 90◦ , it follows that RP ⊥ T Q Denote the intersection points of lines T Q and RP , M1 A and RP , P1 A and T Q by E, F , G, respectively To prove that point E... O2 at points P1 and P2 , respectively We have to prove that P1 = P2 Let us consider points A, D1 , D2 — the intersection points of KL with M N , KM with O1 A, and LN with O2 A, respectively Since ∠O1 AM + ∠N AO2 = 90◦ , 32 CHAPTER 1 SIMILAR TRIANGLES right triangles O1 M A and AN O2 are similar; we also see that AO2 KM and AO1 LN Since these lines are parallel, AD1 : D1 O1 = O2 P1 : P1 O1 and D2... these lines are parallel, AD1 : D1 O1 = O2 P1 : P1 O1 and D2 O2 : AD2 = O2 P2 : P2 O1 The similarity of quadrilaterals AKO1 M and O2 N AL yields AD1 : D1 O1 = D2 O2 : AD2 Therefore, O2 P1 : P1 O1 = O2 P2 : P2 O1 , i.e., P1 = P2 CHAPTER 2 INSCRIBED ANGLES Background 1 Angle ∠ABC whose vertex lies on a circle and legs intersect this circle is called inscribed in the circle Let O be the center of the circle... To prove that point E lies on line AC, it suffices to prove that rectangles AF EG and AM1 CP1 are similar Since ∠ARF = ∠AM1 R = ∠M1 T G = ∠M1 CT , we may denote the values of these angles by the same letter α We have: AF = RA sin α = M1 A sin2 α and AG = M1 T sin α = M1 C sin2 α Therefore, rectangles AF EG and AM1 CP1 are similar 1.66 Denote the centers of the circles by O1 and O2 The outer tangent is... the sum of distances from point A to the tangent points of the inscribed circle with sides AB and AC; therefore, the sum of perimeters of small triangles is equal to the perimeter of triangle ABC, i.e., P1 + P2 + P3 = P The similarity of triangles implies that rri = Pi P Summing these equalities for all the i we get the statement desired 1.61 Let M = A Then XA = A; hence, AYA = 1 Similarly, CXC = 1 .
