brazil-enem 2025 Q163 Heights and distances / angle of elevation problem View
The owner of a boat must depart from point $P$ and arrive at point $R$ by means of two linear displacements and navigating at a constant speed. This trip will be made during the night, and since he has only a compass and a clock, he planned his route as follows: $1^{\text{st}}$ - depart from point $P$ in direction 110 and navigate for 4 hours, reaching a point $Q$; $2^{\text{nd}}$ - depart from point $Q$ in direction 90 and navigate for 2 hours, reaching the destination point $R$.
However, when directing the boat for the first displacement, he did so in direction 340, instead of 110. With this, he made the following displacements: $1^{\text{st}}$ - departed from point $P$ in direction 340 and navigated for 4 hours, reaching a point $S$; $2^{\text{nd}}$ - departed from point $S$ in direction 90 and navigated for 2 hours, reaching point $T$.
The boat owner only realized the mistake upon arriving at point $T$. With this, he now needs to define the direction and navigation time that will allow him, departing from point $T$, to reach the destination point $R$ through a straight route.
Consider 0.64 as an approximation for $\cos 50°$. The direction and approximate navigation time that the boat owner should use are, respectively,
(A) 135 and 7 hours and 15 minutes.
(B) 45 and 7 hours and 15 minutes.
(C) 135 and 12 hours.
(D) 135 and 6 hours.
(E) 45 and 6 hours.

In triangle ABC, $\angle \mathrm { A } = \frac { \pi } { 3 }$ and $\overline { \mathrm { AB } } : \overline { \mathrm { AC } } = 3 : 1$. If the circumradius of triangle ABC is 7, let $k$ be the length of segment AC. Find the value of $k ^ { 2 }$. [4 points]
csat-suneung 2022 Q15 4 marks Multi-step composite figure problem View
There are two circles $C _ { 1 } , C _ { 2 }$ with centers $\mathrm { O } _ { 1 } , \mathrm { O } _ { 2 }$ respectively and radii equal to $\overline { \mathrm { O } _ { 1 } \mathrm { O } _ { 2 } }$. As shown in the figure, three distinct points $\mathrm { A } , \mathrm { B } , \mathrm { C }$ on circle $C _ { 1 }$ and a point $\mathrm { D }$ on circle $C _ { 2 }$ are given, with three points $\mathrm { A } , \mathrm { O } _ { 1 } , \mathrm { O } _ { 2 }$ and three points $\mathrm { C } , \mathrm { O } _ { 2 } , \mathrm { D }$ each on a line.
Let $\angle \mathrm { BO } _ { 1 } \mathrm {~A} = \theta _ { 1 } , \angle \mathrm { O } _ { 2 } \mathrm { O } _ { 1 } \mathrm { C } = \theta _ { 2 } , \angle \mathrm { O } _ { 1 } \mathrm { O } _ { 2 } \mathrm { D } = \theta _ { 3 }$.
The following is the process of finding the ratio of the lengths of segments AB and CD when $\overline { \mathrm { AB } } : \overline { \mathrm { O } _ { 1 } \mathrm { D } } = 1 : 2 \sqrt { 2 }$ and $\theta _ { 3 } = \theta _ { 1 } + \theta _ { 2 }$.
Since $\angle \mathrm { CO } _ { 2 } \mathrm { O } _ { 1 } + \angle \mathrm { O } _ { 1 } \mathrm { O } _ { 2 } \mathrm { D } = \pi$, we have $\theta _ { 3 } = \frac { \pi } { 2 } + \frac { \theta _ { 2 } } { 2 }$, and from $\theta _ { 3 } = \theta _ { 1 } + \theta _ { 2 }$, we get $2 \theta _ { 1 } + \theta _ { 2 } = \pi$, so $\angle \mathrm { CO } _ { 1 } \mathrm {~B} = \theta _ { 1 }$. Since $\angle \mathrm { O } _ { 2 } \mathrm { O } _ { 1 } \mathrm {~B} = \theta _ { 1 } + \theta _ { 2 } = \theta _ { 3 }$, triangles $\mathrm { O } _ { 1 } \mathrm { O } _ { 2 } \mathrm {~B}$ and $\mathrm { O } _ { 2 } \mathrm { O } _ { 1 } \mathrm { D }$ are congruent. Let $\overline { \mathrm { AB } } = k$. Since $\overline { \mathrm { BO } _ { 2 } } = \overline { \mathrm { O } _ { 1 } \mathrm { D } } = 2 \sqrt { 2 } k$, we have $\overline { \mathrm { AO } _ { 2 } } =$ (a) and since $\angle \mathrm { BO } _ { 2 } \mathrm {~A} = \frac { \theta _ { 1 } } { 2 }$, we have $\cos \frac { \theta _ { 1 } } { 2 } =$ (b). In triangle $\mathrm { O } _ { 2 } \mathrm { BC }$, with $\overline { \mathrm { BC } } = k , \overline { \mathrm { BO } _ { 2 } } = 2 \sqrt { 2 } k , \angle \mathrm { CO } _ { 2 } \mathrm {~B} = \frac { \theta _ { 1 } } { 2 }$, by the law of cosines, $\overline { \mathrm { O } _ { 2 } \mathrm { C } } =$ (c). Since $\overline { \mathrm { CD } } = \overline { \mathrm { O } _ { 2 } \mathrm { D } } + \overline { \mathrm { O } _ { 2 } \mathrm { C } } = \overline { \mathrm { O } _ { 1 } \mathrm { O } _ { 2 } } + \overline { \mathrm { O } _ { 2 } \mathrm { C } }$, $\overline { \mathrm { AB } } : \overline { \mathrm { CD } } = k : \left( \frac { \text{(a)} } { 2 } + \text{(c)} \right)$.
Let the expressions for (a) and (c) be $f ( k )$ and $g ( k )$ respectively, and let the number for (b) be $p$. What is the value of $f ( p ) \times g ( p )$? [4 points]
