AMC12 2013 A · Q13. It mainly tests Area & perimeter, Coordinate geometry.

Let points $A=(0,0)$, $B=(1,2)$, $C=(3,3)$, and $D=(4,0)$. Quadrilateral $ABCD$ is cut into equal area pieces by a line passing through $A$. This line intersects $\overline{CD}$ at point $\left(\frac{p}{q},\frac{r}{s}\right)$, where these fractions are in lowest terms. What is $p+q+r+s$?
已知点 $A=(0,0)$,$B=(1,2)$,$C=(3,3)$,$D=(4,0)$。过点 $A$ 作一直线把四边形 $ABCD$ 分成面积相等的两部分。这条直线与线段 $\overline{CD}$ 交于点 $\left(\frac{p}{q},\frac{r}{s}\right)$,其中分数均为最简形式。求 $p+q+r+s$。
(A) 54 54
(B) 58 58
(C) 62 62
(D) 70 70
(E) 75 75
Answer
Correct choice: (B)
正确答案:(B)
Solution
Answer (B): Let line $AG$ be the required line, with $G$ on $\overline{CD}$. Divide $ABCD$ into triangle $ABF$, trapezoid $BCEF$, and triangle $CDE$, as shown. Their areas are $1$, $5$, and $\frac{3}{2}$, respectively. Hence the area of $ABCD=\frac{15}{2}$, and the area of triangle $ADG=\frac{15}{4}$. Because $AD=4$, it follows that $GH=\frac{15}{8}=\frac{r}{s}$. The equation of $\overline{CD}$ is $y=-3(x-4)$, so when $y=\frac{15}{8}$, $x=\frac{p}{q}=\frac{27}{8}$. Therefore $p+q+r+s=58$.
答案(B):设直线 $AG$ 为所求直线,且 $G$ 在 $\overline{CD}$ 上。如图所示,将 $ABCD$ 分成三角形 $ABF$、梯形 $BCEF$ 和三角形 $CDE$。它们的面积分别为 $1$、$5$、$\frac{3}{2}$。因此,$ABCD$ 的面积为 $\frac{15}{2}$,三角形 $ADG$ 的面积为 $\frac{15}{4}$。由于 $AD=4$,可得 $GH=\frac{15}{8}=\frac{r}{s}$。$\overline{CD}$ 的方程为 $y=-3(x-4)$,所以当 $y=\frac{15}{8}$ 时,$x=\frac{p}{q}=\frac{27}{8}$。因此 $p+q+r+s=58$。
