Answer: E
Concepts:surface areaperimeter

Difficulty rating: 720

Solution:

The walls of one bedroom have area 2(12+10)8=448=3522(12+10)\cdot 8 = 44\cdot 8 = 352 square feet. Subtracting the 6060 square feet of doorways and windows leaves 35260=292352-60=292 square feet per bedroom.

With 33 bedrooms, the total is 3292=8763\cdot 292 = 876 square feet.

Thus, the correct answer is E.

The point OO is the center of the circle circumscribed about ABC,\triangle ABC, with BOC=120\angle BOC = 120^\circ and AOB=140,\angle AOB = 140^\circ, as shown. What is the degree measure of ABC?\angle ABC?

3535

4040

4545

5050

6060

Answer: D
Solution:

Since OA=OB=OC,OA=OB=OC, triangles AOB,BOC,AOB, BOC, and COACOA are isosceles. The base angles give ABO=1801402=20\angle ABO=\dfrac{180^\circ-140^\circ}{2}=20^\circ and OBC=1801202=30.\angle OBC=\dfrac{180^\circ-120^\circ}{2}=30^\circ.

Therefore ABC=20+30=50.\angle ABC=20^\circ+30^\circ=50^\circ.

Thus, the correct answer is D.

In a certain land, all Arogs are Brafs, all Crups are Brafs, all Dramps are Arogs, and all Crups are Dramps. Which of the following statements is implied by these facts?

All Dramps are Brafs and are Crups.

All Brafs are Crups and are Dramps.

All Arogs are Crups and are Dramps.

All Crups are Arogs and are Brafs.

All Arogs are Dramps and some Arogs may not be Crups.

Answer: D

Difficulty rating: 1020

Solution:

Writing the statements as implications, being a Crup implies being a Dramp, a Dramp implies being an Arog, and an Arog implies being a Braf: CDAB.C\Rightarrow D\Rightarrow A\Rightarrow B.

So every Crup is a Dramp, an Arog, and a Braf. The only listed statement guaranteed true is that all Crups are Arogs and Brafs.

Thus, the correct answer is D.

The 2007 AMC 10 will be scored by awarding 66 points for each correct response, 00 points for each incorrect response, and 1.51.5 points for each problem left unanswered. After looking over the 2525 problems, Sarah has decided to attempt the first 2222 and leave only the last 33 unanswered. How many of the first 2222 problems must she solve correctly in order to score at least 100100 points?

1313

1414

1515

1616

1717

Answer: D

Difficulty rating: 1120

Solution:

The three blank problems give 31.5=4.53\cdot 1.5 = 4.5 points, so Sarah needs 1004.5=95.5100-4.5=95.5 points from the first 22.22.

Since 95.5/695.5/6 lies between 1515 and 16,16, she must answer at least 1616 correctly, which would give a score of 100.5.100.5.

Thus, the correct answer is D.

All sides of the convex pentagon ABCDEABCDE are of equal length, and A=B=90.\angle A = \angle B = 90^\circ. What is the degree measure of E?\angle E?

9090

108108

120120

144144

150150

Answer: E

Difficulty rating: 1190

Solution:

Because AB=BC=EAAB=BC=EA and A=B=90,\angle A=\angle B=90^\circ, quadrilateral ABCEABCE is a square, so AEC=90.\angle AEC=90^\circ.

The remaining sides satisfy CD=DE=EC,CD=DE=EC, so CDE\triangle CDE is equilateral and CED=60.\angle CED=60^\circ.

Therefore E=AEC+CED=90+60=150.\angle E=\angle AEC+\angle CED=90^\circ+60^\circ=150^\circ.

Thus, the correct answer is E.

8.

On the trip home from the meeting where this AMC 10 was constructed, the Contest Chair noted that his airport parking receipt had digits of the form bbcac,bbcac, where 0a<b<c9,0\le a\lt b\lt c\le 9, and bb was the average of aa and c.c. How many different five-digit numbers satisfy all these properties?

1212

1616

1818

2020

2424

Answer: D

Difficulty rating: 1290

Solution:

Once aa and cc are chosen, b=a+c2b=\dfrac{a+c}{2} is determined, and a<b<ca\lt b\lt c holds automatically. For bb to be an integer, aa and cc must share parity.

Choosing two even digits from {0,2,4,6,8}\{0,2,4,6,8\} gives (52)=10\binom{5}{2}=10 pairs, and choosing two odd digits from {1,3,5,7,9}\{1,3,5,7,9\} gives another 10.10.

This yields 2020 valid numbers.

Thus, the correct answer is D.

A cryptographic code is designed as follows. The first time a letter appears in a given message it is replaced by the letter that is 11 place to its right in the alphabet (assuming that the letter A is one place to the right of the letter Z). The second time this same letter appears in the given message, it is replaced by the letter that is 1+21+2 places to the right, the third time it is replaced by the letter that is 1+2+31+2+3 places to the right, and so on. For example, with this code the word "banana" becomes "cbodqg". What letter will replace the last letter s in the message

"Lee's sis is a Mississippi miss, Chriss!"?

gg

hh

oo

ss

tt

Answer: D

Difficulty rating: 1370

Solution:

The final s is the 1212th appearance of the letter s in the message, so it is shifted 1+2++12=12132=781+2+\cdots+12=\dfrac{12\cdot 13}{2}=78 places to the right.

Since 78=32678=3\cdot 26 is a multiple of the alphabet length 26,26, the shift returns to the same letter, s.

Thus, the correct answer is D.

10.

Two points BB and CC are in a plane. Let SS be the set of all points AA in the plane for which ABC\triangle ABC has area 1.1. Which of the following describes S?S?

two parallel lines

a parabola

a circle

a line segment

two points

Answer: A

Difficulty rating: 1270

Solution:

Taking BCBC as the base, the area is 12(BC)d,\dfrac12(BC)d, where dd is the distance from AA to line BC.BC. The area equals 11 exactly when d=2BC.d=\dfrac{2}{BC}.

The points at this fixed distance from line BCBC form two lines parallel to BC,BC, one on each side.

Thus, the correct answer is A.

11.

A circle passes through the three vertices of an isosceles triangle that has two sides of length 33 and a base of length 2.2. What is the area of this circle?

2π2\pi

52π\dfrac{5}{2}\pi

8132π\dfrac{81}{32}\pi

3π3\pi

72π\dfrac{7}{2}\pi

Answer: C
Solution:

The triangle has sides 3,3,2.3,3,2. Its area is 1223212=22.\dfrac12\cdot 2\cdot\sqrt{3^2-1^2}=2\sqrt2.

The circumradius is R=abc4K=332422=942=928.R=\dfrac{abc}{4K}=\dfrac{3\cdot 3\cdot 2}{4\cdot 2\sqrt2}=\dfrac{9}{4\sqrt2} =\dfrac{9\sqrt2}{8}.

The area of the circle is πR2=π81264=8132π.\pi R^2=\pi\cdot\dfrac{81\cdot 2}{64}=\dfrac{81}{32}\pi.

Thus, the correct answer is C.

12.

Tom's age is TT years, which is also the sum of the ages of his three children. His age NN years ago was twice the sum of their ages then. What is T/N?T/N?

22

33

44

55

66

Answer: D

Difficulty rating: 1290

Solution:

NN years ago Tom's age was TN,T-N, and the sum of his three children's ages was T3N.T-3N.

The condition gives TN=2(T3N),T-N=2(T-3N), so TN=2T6N,T-N=2T-6N, which simplifies to 5N=T.5N=T.

Therefore T/N=5.T/N=5.

Thus, the correct answer is D.

13.

Two circles of radius 22 are centered at (2,0)(2,0) and at (0,2).(0,2). What is the area of the intersection of the interiors of the two circles?

π2\pi-2

π2\dfrac{\pi}{2}

π33\dfrac{\pi\sqrt3}{3}

2(π2)2(\pi-2)

π\pi

Answer: D

Difficulty rating: 1580

Solution:

The two circles intersect at (0,0)(0,0) and (2,2).(2,2).

By symmetry, half the intersection is formed by removing an isosceles right triangle of leg length 22 from a quarter of one circle. The quarter-circle has area 14π(2)2=π\dfrac14\pi(2)^2=\pi and the triangle has area 12(2)2=2.\dfrac12(2)^2=2.

Therefore the whole region has area 2(π2).2(\pi-2).

Thus, the correct answer is D.

Some boys and girls are having a car wash to raise money for a class trip to China. Initially 40%40\% of the group are girls. Shortly thereafter two girls leave and two boys arrive, and then 30%30\% of the group are girls. How many girls were initially in the group?

44

66

88

1010

1212

Answer: C

Difficulty rating: 1330

Solution:

Two girls leave and two boys arrive, so the group size is unchanged. The two girls who left therefore represent 40%30%=10%40\%-30\%=10\% of the group.

Thus the group has 2÷0.10=202\div 0.10=20 people, and the original number of girls was 40%40\% of 20,20, or 8.8.

Thus, the correct answer is C.

15.

The angles of quadrilateral ABCDABCD satisfy A=2B=3C=4D.\angle A = 2\angle B = 3\angle C = 4\angle D. What is the degree measure of A,\angle A, rounded to the nearest whole number?

125125

144144

153153

173173

180180

Answer: D

Difficulty rating: 1370

Solution:

Let x=A.x=\angle A. Then B=x2,\angle B=\dfrac{x}{2}, C=x3,\angle C=\dfrac{x}{3}, and D=x4.\angle D=\dfrac{x}{4}.

The angles sum to 360,360^\circ, so x+x2+x3+x4=25x12=360.x+\dfrac{x}{2}+\dfrac{x}{3}+\dfrac{x}{4}=\dfrac{25x}{12}=360.

Thus x=1236025=172.8173.x=\dfrac{12\cdot 360}{25}=172.8\approx 173.

Thus, the correct answer is D.

16.

A teacher gave a test to a class in which 10%10\% of the students are juniors and 90%90\% are seniors. The average score on the test was 84.84. The juniors all received the same score, and the average score of the seniors was 83.83. What score did each of the juniors receive on the test?

8585

8888

9393

9494

9898

Answer: C

Difficulty rating: 1330

Solution:

Suppose the class has 1010 students: one junior and nine seniors. The total of all scores is 1084=840.10\cdot 84=840.

The nine seniors total 983=747,9\cdot 83=747, so the junior's score is s=840747=93.s=840-747=93.

Thus, the correct answer is C.

Point PP is inside equilateral ABC.\triangle ABC. Points Q,R,Q, R, and SS are the feet of the perpendiculars from PP to AB,\overline{AB}, BC,\overline{BC}, and CA,\overline{CA}, respectively. Given that PQ=1,PQ = 1, PR=2,PR = 2, and PS=3,PS = 3, what is AB?AB?

44

333\sqrt3

66

434\sqrt3

99

Answer: D
Solution:

Let the side length be s.s. The perpendiculars from PP are the heights of triangles APB,APB, BPC,BPC, and CPA,CPA, so their areas are s2,\dfrac{s}{2}, s,s, and 3s2.\dfrac{3s}{2}.

Their sum equals the area of ABC,\triangle ABC, which is also 34s2.\dfrac{\sqrt3}{4}s^2. Hence 3s=34s2.3s=\dfrac{\sqrt3}{4}s^2.

The positive solution is s=43.s=4\sqrt3.

Thus, the correct answer is D.

18.

A circle of radius 11 is surrounded by 44 circles of radius rr as shown. What is r?r?

2\sqrt2

1+21+\sqrt2

6\sqrt6

33

2+22+\sqrt2

Answer: B

Difficulty rating: 1680

Solution:

Connect the centers of the four outer circles to form a square. Adjacent outer circles are tangent, so each side has length 2r.2r.

The diagonal of the square passes through the center circle, giving length 1+r+r+1=2+2r.1+r+r+1=2+2r. Since a square with side 2r2r has diagonal 2r2,2r\sqrt2, we get 2(2r)2=(2+2r)2.2(2r)^2=(2+2r)^2.

Expanding gives 1+2r+r2=2r2,1+2r+r^2=2r^2, so r22r1=0.r^2-2r-1=0. The positive root is r=1+2.r=1+\sqrt2.

Thus, the correct answer is B.

19.

The wheel shown is spun twice, and the randomly determined numbers opposite the pointer are recorded. The first number is divided by 4,4, and the second number is divided by 5.5. The first remainder designates a column, and the second remainder designates a row on the checkerboard shown. What is the probability that the pair of numbers designates a shaded square?

13\dfrac{1}{3}

49\dfrac{4}{9}

12\dfrac{1}{2}

59\dfrac{5}{9}

23\dfrac{2}{3}

Answer: C

Difficulty rating: 1490

Solution:

The shaded squares are those where the two remainders are both odd or both even. The first remainder is even (from the numbers 22 and 66) with probability 13\dfrac13 and odd with probability 23.\dfrac23.

The second remainder is even with probability 12\dfrac12 and odd with probability 12.\dfrac12.

The probability that they share parity is 1312+2312=12.\dfrac13\cdot\dfrac12+\dfrac23\cdot\dfrac12=\dfrac12.

Thus, the correct answer is C.

20.

A set of 2525 square blocks is arranged into a 5×55\times 5 square. How many different combinations of 33 blocks can be selected from that set so that no two are in the same row or column?

100100

125125

600600

23002300

36003600

Answer: C
Solution:

Choose 33 of the 55 rows in (53)=10\binom{5}{3}=10 ways and 33 of the 55 columns in (53)=10\binom{5}{3}=10 ways.

The three chosen blocks must occupy distinct rows and columns, so they form a matching between the three rows and three columns, which can be done in 3!=63!=6 ways.

The total is 10106=600.10\cdot 10\cdot 6=600.

Thus, the correct answer is C.

127\dfrac{12}{7}

2313\dfrac{23}{13}

22

Answer: B

Difficulty rating: 1720

Solution:

Let ss be the side of the square and hh the altitude from BB to AC.AC. Then h=ABBCAC=345=125.h=\dfrac{AB\cdot BC}{AC}=\dfrac{3\cdot 4}{5}=\dfrac{12}{5}.

The small triangle above the square is similar to ABC\triangle ABC with the square's top side as its base, giving hsh=sAC,\dfrac{h-s}{h}=\dfrac{s}{AC}, so s=AChAC+h.s=\dfrac{AC\cdot h}{AC+h}.

Substituting, s=51255+125=1237/5=6037.s=\dfrac{5\cdot\frac{12}{5}}{5+\frac{12}{5}}=\dfrac{12}{37/5}=\dfrac{60}{37}.

Thus, the correct answer is B.

22.

A player chooses one of the numbers 11 through 4.4. After the choice has been made, two regular four-sided (tetrahedral) dice are rolled, with the sides of the dice numbered 11 through 4.4. If the number chosen appears on the bottom of exactly one die after it is rolled, then the player wins $1. If the number chosen appears on the bottom of both of the dice, then the player wins $2. If the number chosen does not appear on the bottom of either of the dice, the player loses $1. What is the expected return to the player, in dollars, for one roll of the dice?

18-\dfrac{1}{8}

116-\dfrac{1}{16}

00

116\dfrac{1}{16}

18\dfrac{1}{8}

Answer: B
Solution:

Each die shows the chosen number on the bottom with probability 14.\dfrac14. So the number appears 0,1,0,1, or 22 times with probabilities P(0)=916, P(1)=616, P(2)=116.P(0)=\dfrac{9}{16},\ P(1)=\dfrac{6}{16},\ P(2)=\dfrac{1}{16}.

The expected return is (1)916+(1)616+(2)116=9+6+216=116.(-1)\cdot\dfrac{9}{16}+(1)\cdot\dfrac{6}{16}+(2)\cdot\dfrac{1}{16}=\dfrac{-9+6+2}{16}=-\dfrac{1}{16}.

Thus, the correct answer is B.

23.

A pyramid with a square base is cut by a plane that is parallel to its base and is 22 units from the base. The surface area of the smaller pyramid that is cut from the top is half the surface area of the original pyramid. What is the altitude of the original pyramid?

22

2+22+\sqrt2

1+221+2\sqrt2

44

4+224+2\sqrt2

Answer: E
Solution:

Let hh be the altitude of the original pyramid; the smaller pyramid has altitude h2.h-2. The two pyramids are similar, so the ratio of their surface areas is the square of the ratio of their altitudes.

The smaller surface area is half the original, so (h2h)2=12,\left(\dfrac{h-2}{h}\right)^2=\dfrac12, giving hh2=2.\dfrac{h}{h-2}=\sqrt2.

Then h=2(h2),h=\sqrt2(h-2), so h(21)=22h(\sqrt2-1)=2\sqrt2 and h=2221=4+22.h=\dfrac{2\sqrt2}{\sqrt2-1}=4+2\sqrt2.

Thus, the correct answer is E.

24.

Let nn denote the smallest positive integer that is divisible by both 44 and 9,9, and whose base-1010 representation consists of only 44's and 99's, with at least one of each. What are the last four digits of n?n?

44444444

44944494

49444944

94449444

99449944

Answer: C

Difficulty rating: 1980

Solution:

Since nn is divisible by 9,9, its digit sum is a multiple of 9.9. With kk fours and mm nines, the digit sum is 4k+9m,4k+9m, so 94k,9\mid 4k, forcing 9k.9\mid k. Thus k9,k\ge 9, and with at least one 9,9, the number has at least ten digits.

For divisibility by 4,4, the last two digits must form a multiple of 4,4, and among 44,49,94,9944,49,94, 99 only 4444 works, so nn ends in 44.44.

The smallest such ten-digit number places the single 99 in the lowest available position, giving 4,444,444,944.4{,}444{,}444{,}944. Its last four digits are 4944.4944.

Thus, the correct answer is C.

25.

How many pairs of positive integers (a,b)(a,b) are there such that aa and bb have no common factors greater than 11 and

ab+14b9a\frac{a}{b}+\frac{14b}{9a}

is an integer?

44

66

99

1212

infinitely many

Answer: A
Solution:

Combining, the expression is 9a2+14b29ab.\dfrac{9a^2+14b^2}{9ab}. For this to be an integer, aa must divide 9a2+14b2,9a^2+14b^2, hence a14b2.a\mid 14b^2. Since gcd(a,b)=1,\gcd(a,b)=1, we get a14.a\mid 14. Similarly b9a2b\mid 9a^2 gives b9.b\mid 9.

So a{1,2,7,14}a\in\{1,2,7,14\} and b{1,3,9}.b\in\{1,3,9\}. Checking these, only b=3b=3 makes the expression an integer for each allowed a.a.

The valid pairs are (1,3),(2,3),(7,3),(1,3),(2,3),(7,3), and (14,3),(14,3), for a total of 4.4.

Thus, the correct answer is A.
