33. It shouldn't be hard to use trigonometry to bash this and find the height, but there is a much easier
way. Extend AD and BC to meet at point E:
39 3
Since AB || CD we have AEB ~ DEC with the ratio of proportionality being  . Thus
52 4
CE 3
  CE  36
CE  12 4
DE 3
  DE  15
DE  5 4
So the sides of CDE are 15, 36, 39, which we recognize to be a 5 – 12 – 13 right triangle. Therefore
(we could simplify some of the calculation using that the ratio of areas is equal to the ratio of the sides
1 1
squared), [ABCD] = [ABE] – [CDE] = .20.48  .15.36  (C) 210

34. Angle-chasing using the small triangles:

Use the line below and to the left of the 110º angle to find that the rightmost angle in the small lower-left
triangle is 180 –110 = 70º .
Then use the small lower-left triangle to find that the remaining angle in that triangle is
180 – 70 – 40 = 70º
Use congruent vertical angles to find that the lower angle in the smallest triangle containing A is also 70º.
Next, use line segment AB to find that the other angle in the smallest triangle containing A is
180 – 100 = 80º .
The small triangle containing A has a 70º angle and an 80º angle. The remaining angle must be
180 – 70 – 80 = 30º, B

36. We must choose the three numbers so that the sum of any two exceeds the third. Thus we cannot choose
1 as a side length. If we choose 2 as a side length, the possible pairs for the other two sides are (3,
4) and (4, 5). Finally, we may choose (3, 4, 5) as the three side lengths. Thus there are three ways we can
choose distinct numbers from the given set to form a non-degenerate triangle.
37. Since ABPC is a quadrilateral, the reflex angle of

BPC = 360° – 15° – 20° – BAC,
so BPC = 15° + 20° + BAC, so the answer is 35.
38. The triples which can be sides of a triangle which has perimeter 11 are (2 , 4 , 5) ; (3 , 3 , 5) and (3 , 4 ,
4). A triangle is obtuse if the sum of the squares of the two smallest sides is less than the square of the
largest. Since 22 + 42 < 52, 32 + 32 < 52 and 32 + 42 > 42, the first two triples represent obtuse triangles but
the third does not. Thus there are 2 such triangles.
39. From the Exterior Angle Theorem we get m = x + y and n = a + b. Adding these yields the desired a + b +
m = x + y + n.
40. Let area of triangle AED = x, so area of CEB = x

50 x

x 72
x2 = 3600
x = 60
so area of ABCD = 242.
