1. ABC is an isosceles triangle and CD cuts the base AB in D. Prove that

and show in what sense this relation is universally true.

2. Divide a line into two parts so that the rectangle contained by the parts may be equal to the differences of the squares upon the parts.

3. If a chord be drawn from the point of contact of a tangent line to a circle the angles between the chord and line are equal to those contained in the alternate segments into which the chord divides the circle.

Tangents are drawn at the vertices B and C of a triangle inscribed in a circle. Show that the angle between these tangents is π-2A.

4. The angle of intersection of two secants to a circle is measured by half the sum of the intercepted arcs or half their difference, according as the secants intersect within the circle or without it.

In a given circle an inscribed equilateral triangle has its vertices A, B, C and an inscribed regular pentagon has vertices A, D, E, F, G.

Express in radians the angle between the lines AC and DF; between AC and GF.

5. Two triangles having two sides in the one proportional to two sides in the other, and the angles contained by these sides in each equal, are similar.

Describe the "line of lines" in the sector and

its uses.

6. If two triangles have an equal angle their areas are proportional to those of the rectangles under the sides containing the equal angle in each.
