Let △ABC have side lengths AB=13, BC=14, and CA=15. Triangle △A′B′C′ is obtained by rotating △ABC about its circumcenter so that A′C′ is perpendicular to BC, with A′ and B not on the same side of line B′C′. Find the integer closest to the area of hexagon AA′CC′BB′.
答案:156
解答:
取 B=(0,0)、C=(14,0)、A=(5,12)。外心在 x=7 上,令它到 B 和到 A 的距离相等,得到 O=(7,833)。AC 的方向为 C−A=(9,−12),与 (3,−4) 平行。旋转角 φ 后使 A′C′ 竖直,当且仅当它把 (3,−4) 送到 (0,±5),所以 (cosφ,sinφ)=(54,−53) 或 (−54,53)。将每个顶点绕 168 旋转,并检查直线 B′C′ 可知,只有在 cosφ=54、sinφ=−53 时,A′ 和 B 位于两侧。 4651, (C′−B′)×(A′−B′)(C′−B′)×(B−B′)=168,=−4189,
用这个旋转,P′=O+R(P−O)。例如,A−O=(−2,863) 旋转为 (825,215),得到 A′=(881,893)。三个旋转后的顶点为 A′=(881,893), B′=(−4043,40201), C′=(881,−827).
六边形 AA′CC′BB′ 以这些顶点为顺序时是简单六边形,所以对 (5,12)、(881,893)、(14,0)、 (881,−827)、(0,0)、 (−4043,40201) 使用鞋带公式,得到面积 101557=155.7。最接近的整数为 156。
Place B=(0,0), C=(14,0), A=(5,12). The circumcenter lies on x=7, and equating distances to B and A gives O=(7,833). The direction of AC is C−A=(9,−12), parallel to (3,−4). A rotation through φ makes A′C′ vertical exactly when it sends (3,−4) to (0,±5), so (cosφ,sinφ)=(54,−53) or (−54,53). Use the scalar cross product to test sides of the directed line B′C′. For the first rotation, (C′−B′)×(A′−B′)(C′−B′)×(B−B′)=168,=−4189, while for the second rotation these quantities are 168 and 4651, respectively. Thus A′ and B are on opposite sides only for cosφ=54, sinφ=−53.
With this rotation, P′=O+R(P−O) gives A′=(881,893), B′=(−4043,40201), C′=(881,−827). For example, A−O=(−2,863) rotates to (825,215), giving A′=(881,893).
The hexagon AA′CC′BB′ is simple with these vertices in order, so the shoelace formula on (5,12), (881,893), (14,0), (881,−827), (0,0), (−4043,40201) gives area 101557=155.7. The closest integer is 156.
