Answer
Correct choice: (A)
正确答案:(A)
Solution
Without loss of generality, let $\triangle ABC$ have side-lengths $AB=2, BC=2\sqrt{3},$ and $AC=4.$ Let $D$ be the foot of the perpendicular from $B$ to $\overline{AC}, \ E$ be the midpoint of $\overline{AB},$ and $F$ be the intersection of $\overline{CE}$ and $\overline{BD}.$ Note that $\triangle ADB$ and $\triangle BDC$ are both $30^\circ{-}60^\circ{-}90^\circ$ triangles. From the side-length ratio, we get $AD=1$ and $DC=3.$
We obtain the following diagram:
From here, we will proceed with mass points. Throughout this solution, we will use $W_P$ to denote the weight of point $P.$
Let $W_C=1.$ Since $3AD=DC,$ it follows that $W_A=3$ and $W_D=W_C+W_A=4.$ Since $AE=EB$ and $W_A=3,$ it follows that $W_B=3.$
Now we focus on $\overline{BD}:$ Since $W_B=3$ and $W_D=4,$ we have $\frac{DF}{FB}=\frac xy=\frac34.$ Therefore, the answer is \[\frac{x}{x+y}=\frac{3}{3+4}=\boxed{\textbf{(A) } \dfrac{3}{7}}.\]
不失一般性,令$\triangle ABC$的边长$AB=2, BC=2\sqrt{3},$ 和$AC=4.$ 令$D$为从$B$到$\overline{AC}$的垂足,$E$为$\overline{AB}$的中点,$F$为$\overline{CE}$与$\overline{BD}$的交点。注意$\triangle ADB$和$\triangle BDC$都是$30^\circ{-}60^\circ{-}90^\circ$三角形。从边长比率,得$AD=1$和$DC=3$。
我们得到如下图:
从这里,我们使用质点法。在整个解法中,用$W_P$表示点$P$的重量。
令$W_C=1.$ 因为$3AD=DC$,故$W_A=3$和$W_D=W_C+W_A=4.$ 因为$AE=EB$且$W_A=3$,故$W_B=3$。
现在关注$\overline{BD}$:因为$W_B=3$和$W_D=4$,我们有$\frac{DF}{FB}=\frac xy=\frac34.$ 因此,答案是\[\frac{x}{x+y}=\frac{3}{3+4}=\boxed{\textbf{(A) } \dfrac{3}{7}}.\]
