AMC10 2005 B · Q14. It mainly tests Triangles (properties), Area & perimeter.

Equilateral $\triangle ABC$ has side length 2, $M$ is the midpoint of $\overline{AC}$, and $C$ is the midpoint of $\overline{BD}$. What is the area of $\triangle CDM$?
等边 $\triangle ABC$ 边长为 2,$M$ 是 $\overline{AC}$ 的中点,$C$ 是 $\overline{BD}$ 的中点。求 $\triangle CDM$ 的面积。
stem
(A) $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$
(B) $\frac{3}{4}$ $\frac{3}{4}$
(C) $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
(D) 1 1
(E) $\sqrt{2}$ $\sqrt{2}$
Answer
Correct choice: (C)
正确答案:(C)
Solution
Drop $MQ$ perpendicular to $BC$. Then $\triangle MQC$ is a 30–60–90 triangle, so $MQ = \sqrt{3}/2$, and the area of $\triangle CDM$ is $\frac{1}{2} (2 \cdot \sqrt{3}/2) = \sqrt{3}/2$.
从 $M$ 向 $BC$ 作垂线 $MQ$。则 $\triangle MQC$ 是 30–60–90 三角形,因此 $MQ = \sqrt{3}/2$,$\triangle CDM$ 的面积是 $\frac{1}{2} (2 \cdot \sqrt{3}/2) = \sqrt{3}/2$。
