The plane is equipped with an orthonormal coordinate system ( $\mathrm { O } , \vec { u } , \vec { v }$ ). For all integer $n \geqslant 4$, we consider $P _ { n }$ a regular polygon with $n$ sides, with centre $O$ and whose area is equal to 1. We admit that such a polygon is made up of $n$ triangles superimposable to a given triangle $\mathrm { OA } _ { n } \mathrm {~B} _ { n }$, isosceles at O. We denote $r _ { n } = \mathrm { OA } _ { n }$ the distance between the centre O and the vertex $\mathrm { A } _ { n }$ of such a polygon.
Part A: study of the particular case $n = 6$
  1. Justify the fact that the triangle $\mathrm { OA } _ { 6 } \mathrm {~B} _ { 6 }$ is equilateral, and that its area is equal to $\frac { 1 } { 6 }$.
  2. Express as a function of $r _ { 6 }$ the height of the triangle $\mathrm { OA } _ { 6 } \mathrm {~B} _ { 6 }$ from the vertex $\mathrm { B } _ { 6 }$.
  3. Deduce that $r _ { 6 } = \sqrt { \frac { 2 } { 3 \sqrt { 3 } } }$.

Part B: general case with $n \geqslant 4$
In the method considered, we take as initial matrix the matrix $I = \left( \begin{array} { l l } 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{array} \right)$.
  1. Determine the two missing matrices $A$ and $B$, in the third row of the Stern-Brocot tree.
  2. We associate to a matrix $M = \left( \begin{array} { l l } a & c \\ b & d \end{array} \right)$ of the Stern-Brocot tree the fraction $\frac { a + c } { b + d }$. Show that, in this association, the path ``left-right-left'' starting from the initial matrix in the tree, leads to a matrix corresponding to the fraction $\frac { 3 } { 5 }$.
  3. Let $M = \left( \begin{array} { l l } a & c \\ b & d \end{array} \right)$ be a matrix of the tree. We recall that $a , b , c , d$ are integers. We denote $\Delta _ { M } = a d - b c$, the difference of the diagonal products of this matrix. a. Show that if $a d - b c = 1$, then $d ( a + c ) - c ( b + d ) = 1$. b. Deduce that if $M = \left( \begin{array} { l l } a & c \\ b & d \end{array} \right)$ is a matrix of the Stern-Brocot tree such that $\Delta _ { M } = a d - b c = 1$, then $\Delta _ { M \times G } = 1$, that is, the difference of the diagonal products of the matrix $M \times G$ is also equal to 1. We similarly admit that $\Delta _ { M \times D } = 1$, and that all other matrices $N$ of the Stern-Brocot tree satisfy the equality $\Delta _ { N } = 1$.
  4. Deduce from the previous question that every fraction associated with a matrix of the Stern-Brocot tree is in lowest terms.
  5. Let $m$ and $n$ be two non-zero natural integers that are coprime. Thus the fraction $\frac { m } { n }$ is in lowest terms. We consider the following algorithm: \begin{verbatim} VARIABLES : m and n are non-zero natural integers and coprime PROCESSING : While m = do If m
    Display$\ldots$$\ldots$$\ldots$$\ldots$
    $m$4$\ldots$$\ldots$$\ldots$$\ldots$
    $n$7$\ldots$$\ldots$$\ldots$$\ldots$

    b. Conjecture the role of this algorithm. Verify by a matrix calculation the result provided with the values $m = 4$ and $n = 7$.

4. The BeiDou-3 Global Navigation Satellite System is an important achievement of China's space program. In satellite navigation systems, geostationary satellites orbit in the plane of Earth's equator at an orbital altitude of 36,000 km (orbital altitude is the distance from the satellite to Earth's surface). Consider Earth as a sphere with center $O$ and radius $r = 6400$ km. The latitude of a point $A$ on Earth's surface is defined as the angle that $OA$ makes with the equatorial plane. The maximum latitude at which a geostationary satellite can be directly observed from Earth's surface is $a$. The surface area covered by the satellite signal on Earth's surface is $S = 2 \pi r ^ { 2 } ( 1 - \cos a )$ (in $\mathrm { km } ^ { 2 }$). What percentage of Earth's total surface area does $S$ represent? ( )
A. $26 \%$
B. $34 \%$
C. $42 \%$
D. $50 \%$
【Answer】C 【Solution】 【Analysis】From the given information, use the provided surface area formula and the formula for the surface area of a sphere to calculate the result. 【Detailed Solution】From the given information, the percentage of $S$ relative to Earth's surface area is approximately: $\frac { 2 \pi r ^ { 2 } ( 1 - \cos a ) } { 4 \pi r ^ { 2 } } = \frac { 1 - \cos a } { 2 } = \frac { 1 - \frac { 6400 } { 6400 + 36000 } } { 2 } \approx 0.42 = 42 \%$ . Therefore, the answer is: C.

Take a point P on the segment OB and consider a path on the side of this circular cone which starts from the point A , passes through the point P and returns to A . Denote the length of the path by $\ell$.
(i) If $\mathrm { OP } = 2$, then the smallest value of $\ell$ is $\mathbf { E }$. $\mathbf { F }$.
(ii) Let point P be any point on the line segment OB . When $\ell$ is minimized, then $\mathrm { OP } = \frac { \mathbf { G } } { \mathbf { G } }$, and the value of $\ell$ is $\square \sqrt { } \square$.

As shown in the figure, a robot starts from a point $P$ on the ground and moves according to the following rules: First, move forward 1 meter in a certain direction, then rotate counterclockwise $45 ^ { \circ }$ in the direction of movement; move forward 1 meter in the new direction, then rotate clockwise $90 ^ { \circ }$ in the direction of movement; move forward 1 meter in the new direction, then rotate counterclockwise $45 ^ { \circ }$ in the direction of movement; move forward 1 meter in the new direction, then rotate clockwise $90 ^ { \circ }$ in the direction of movement, and so on. The path traced by the robot forms a closed region. The area of this closed region is (28) + (29) $\sqrt { (30) }$ square meters. (Express as a fraction in simplest radical form)

A light show display uses color-changing flashing lights. After each activation, the flashing color changes periodically according to the following sequence: Blue–White–Red–White–Blue–White–Red–White–Blue–White–Red–White…, with one cycle every four flashes. Blue light lasts 5 seconds each time, white light lasts 2 seconds each time, and red light lasts 6 seconds each time. Assuming the time to change lights is negligible, select the light color(s) between the 99th and 101st seconds after activation.
(1) All blue lights
(2) All white lights
(3) All red lights
(4) Blue light first, then white light
(5) White light first, then red light
