AMC12 2011 B · Q10. It mainly tests Angle chasing, Triangles (properties).

Rectangle $ABCD$ has $AB=6$ and $BC=3$. Point $M$ is chosen on side $AB$ so that $\angle AMD=\angle CMD$. What is the degree measure of $\angle AMD$?
矩形 $ABCD$ 有 $AB=6$ 且 $BC=3$。在边 $AB$ 上选择点 $M$,使得 $\angle AMD=\angle CMD$。$\angle AMD$ 的度量是多少度?
(A) 15 15
(B) 30 30
(C) 45 45
(D) 60 60
(E) 75 75
Answer
Correct choice: (E)
正确答案:(E)
Solution
Since $AB \parallel CD$, $\angle AMD = \angle CDM$, so $\angle AMD = \angle CMD = \angle CDM$, so $\bigtriangleup CMD$ is isosceles, and hence $CM=CD=6$. Therefore, $\triangle BMC$ is a 30-60-90 triangle with $\angle BMC = 30^\circ$. Therefore $\angle AMD=\boxed{\mathrm{(E)}\ 75^\circ}$
因为 $AB \parallel CD$,所以 $\angle AMD = \angle CDM$,从而 $\angle AMD = \angle CMD = \angle CDM$,因此 $\bigtriangleup CMD$ 为等腰三角形,故 $CM=CD=6$。因此,$\triangle BMC$ 是一个 $30-60-90$ 三角形,且 $\angle BMC = 30^\circ$。所以 $\angle AMD=\boxed{\mathrm{(E)}\ 75^\circ}$
