AMC12 2010 A · Q3. It mainly tests Fractions, Area & perimeter.

Rectangle $ABCD$, pictured below, shares $50\%$ of its area with square $EFGH$. Square $EFGH$ shares $20\%$ of its area with rectangle $ABCD$. What is $\frac{AB}{AD}$?
如下图所示,长方形 $ABCD$ 与正方形 $EFGH$ 的重叠部分占长方形面积的 $50\%$。同时,正方形 $EFGH$ 与长方形 $ABCD$ 的重叠部分占正方形面积的 $20\%$。求 $\frac{AB}{AD}$。
stem
(A) 4 4
(B) 5 5
(C) 6 6
(D) 8 8
(E) 10 10
Answer
Correct choice: (E)
正确答案:(E)
Solution
If we shift $A$ to coincide with $E$, and add new horizontal lines to divide $EFGH$ into five equal parts: This helps us to see that $AD=a/5$ and $AB=2a$, where $a=EF$. Hence $\dfrac{AB}{AD}=\dfrac{2a}{a/5}=10$.
如果将点 $A$ 平移使其与点 $E$ 重合,并添加新的水平线把 $EFGH$ 分成五个相等部分: 这有助于看出 $AD=a/5$ 且 $AB=2a$,其中 $a=EF$。 因此 $\dfrac{AB}{AD}=\dfrac{2a}{a/5}=10$。
