WORKSHEET on
GEOMETRY

Attempt all these problems devoting proper time to understand and visualise the problem. In case,
you are not able to conclude to the result, keep trying in your free time. All these problems are a
good set to ensure that your understanding of geometry, is well groomed.

1. Let the lengths of bases AD and BC of trapezoid ABCD be a and b (a > b). Find the length of the
segment that the diagonals intercept on the midline. Also, find the length of segment MN whose
endpoints divide AB and CD in the ratio of AM : MB = DN : NC = p :q.

2. Prove that the midpoints of the sides of an arbitrary quadrilateral are vertices of a parallelogram. For
what quadrilaterals this parallelogram is a rectangle, a rhombus, a square?

3. Points A1 and B1 divide sides BC and AC of ∆ABC in the ratios BA1: A1C = 1 : p and AB1 : B1C = 1 : q,
respectively. In what ratio is AA1 divided by BB1?

4. Straight lines AA1 and BB1 pass through point P of median CC1 in ∆ABC (A1 and B1 lie on sides BC
and CA, respectively). Prove that A1B1 ║ AB.

5. The straight line which connects the intersection point P of the diagonals in quadrilateral ABCD with
the intersection point Q of the lines AB and CD bisects side AD. Prove that it also bisects BC.

6. A point P is taken on side AD of parallelogram ABCD so that AP: AD = 1: n; let Q be the intersection
point of AC and BP. Prove that AQ: AC = 1: (n + 1).

7. The vertices of parallelogram A1B1C1D1 lie on the side of parallelogram ABCD (point A1 lies on AB, B1
on BC, etc.). Prove that the centers of the two parallelograms coincide.

8. Point K lies on diagonal BD of parallelogram ABCD. Straight line AK intersects lines BC and CD at
points L and M, respectively. Prove that AK2 = LK  KM.

9. One of the diagonals of a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle is a diameter of the circle. Prove that (the
lengths of) the projections of the opposite sides of the quadrilateral on the other diagonal are equal.

10. Point E on base AD of trapezoid ABCD is such that AE = BC. Segments CA and CE intersect diagonal
BD at O and P, respectively. Prove that if BO = PD, then AD2 = BC2 + AD BC.

11. On a circle centred at O, points A and B single out an arc of 60°. Point M belongs to this arc. Prove
that the straight line passing through the midpoints of MA and OB is perpendicular to that passing
through the midpoints of MB and OA.

12. Through an arbitrary point P on side AC of ∆ABC straight lines are drawn parallelly to the triangle’s
medians AK and CL. The lines intersect BC and AB at E and F, respectively. Prove that AK and CL
divide EF into three equal parts.

13. In ∆ABC bisectors AA1 and BB1 are drawn. Prove that the distance from any point M of A 1B1 to line
AB is equal to the sum of distances from M to AC and BC.

14. Let M and N be the midpoints of sides AD and BC in rectangle ABCD. Point P lies on the extension of
DC beyond D; point Q is the intersection point of PM and AC. Prove that QNM = MNP.

15. Points K and L are taken on the extensions of the bases AD and BC of trapezoid ABCD beyond A and
C, respectively. Line segment KL intersects sides AB and CD at M and N, respectively; KL intersects
diagonals AC and BD at O and P, respectively. Prove that if KM = NL, then KO = PL.
