Solution 270

1) The angles of triangle CDE were solved for using the Law of Cosines since the sides were sums of radii. Angle ECD was 5o8'56", angle CDE was 53o6'2", and angle DEC was 80o2'22". 2) Perpendiculars were constructed and used to find angle BEC = 19o28'16" and lengths BE and BF. 3) Angle FED was then determined which allowed calculation of angle EDF and length EF. Length DF was then found. 4) Finally, length A'G was calculated as the sum of lengths CB, DF, and A'G.

Problem Number 270 Solution



Solve triangle CDE for all angles by Law of Cosines, noting that the sides are
sums of the radii:

Angle ECD= +5+8'56", angle CDE= 53+6'+2" and angle DEC= 802+'22"

Constructing perpendiculars as shown. CB=15, making angle BEC= arcsin(15f+5)
or 1928'16" and +5 15 +2.+26 BE = =

Angle FED=180-(1928'16" + 802+'22") = 8007'22" so angle EDF=952'38"
and EF = +0 sin 952'38" = 6.862 and DF = +0 6.862 39.+07 DF = =

A'G is then 15 + 39.+07 + 25 = 79.+07
