bac-s-maths 2015 Q4A Area Computation in Coordinate Geometry
The manufacturer of padlocks of the brand ``K'' wishes to print a logo for his company. This logo has the shape of a stylized capital letter K, inscribed in a square ABCD, with side length one unit of length, and respecting the following conditions C1 and C2:
  • Condition C1: the letter K must consist of three lines:
  • one of the lines is the segment $[AD]$;
  • a second line has endpoints at point A and a point E on segment $[DC]$;
  • the third line has endpoint at point B and a point G located on the second line.
  • Condition C2: the area of each of the three surfaces delimited by the three lines drawn in the square must be between 0.3 and 0.4, with the unit of area being that of the square. These areas are denoted $r$, $s$, $t$.

We place ourselves in the orthonormal coordinate system $(A; \overrightarrow{AB}, \overrightarrow{AD})$.
Part A: study of Proposal A
In this proposal, the three lines are segments and the three areas are equal: $r = s = t = \frac{1}{3}$. Determine the coordinates of points E and G.

brazil-enem 2013 Q175 Triangle Properties and Special Points
In recent years, television has undergone a true revolution in terms of image quality, sound and interactivity with viewers. This transformation is due to the conversion of the analog signal to the digital signal. However, many cities still do not have this new technology. Seeking to bring these benefits to three cities, a television station intends to build a new transmission tower that sends signal to antennas A, B and C, already existing in these cities. The locations of the antennas are represented in the Cartesian plane.
The tower must be located in a place equidistant from the three antennas.
The appropriate location for the construction of this tower corresponds to the point with coordinates
(A) $(65; 35)$. (B) $(53; 30)$. (C) $(45; 35)$. (D) $(50; 20)$. (E) $(50; 30)$.

brazil-enem 2025 Q151 Line Equation and Parametric Representation
In a digital game, there are three characters: one hero and two villains. The programming is done in such a way that the hero will always be attacked by the villain closest to him. One way to ``confuse'' the villains is to move the hero along trajectories that keep him equidistant from the villains, creating uncertainty between them, and thus preventing him from being attacked.
For the programming of one of the stages of this game, the programmer considered, in the Cartesian plane, the square STUV as the region of movement of the characters, where V and $T$ represent the fixed positions of the villains, and $S$, the initial position of the hero, as shown in the figure.
What is the equation of the trajectory along which the hero can move without being attacked?

(E) $y = 3x - 16$
