AMC12 2016 B · Q17. It mainly tests Word problems (algebra), Angle chasing.
In $\triangle ABC$ shown in the figure, $AB=7$, $BC=8$, $CA=9$, and $AH$ is an altitude. Points $D$ and $E$ lie on sides $AC$ and $AB$, respectively, so that $BD$ and $CE$ are angle bisectors, intersecting $AH$ at $Q$ and $P$, respectively. What is $PQ$?
在图示的 $\triangle ABC$ 中,$AB=7$,$BC=8$,$CA=9$,且 $AH$ 为高。点 $D$ 和 $E$ 分别位于边 $AC$ 和 $AB$ 上,使得 $BD$ 与 $CE$ 为角平分线,分别与 $AH$ 交于 $Q$ 和 $P$。求 $PQ$ 的长度。

Answer
Correct choice: (D)
正确答案:(D)
Solution
Answer (D): Let $x=BH$. Then $CH=8-x$ and $AH^2=7^2-x^2=9^2-(8-x)^2$, so $x=2$ and $AH=\sqrt{45}$. By the Angle Bisector Theorem in $\triangle ACH$, $\frac{AP}{PH}=\frac{CA}{CH}=\frac{9}{6}$, so $AP=\frac{3}{5}AH$. Similarly, by the Angle Bisector Theorem in $\triangle ABH$, $\frac{AQ}{QH}=\frac{BA}{BH}=\frac{7}{2}$, so $AQ=\frac{7}{9}AH$. Then $PQ=AQ-AP=\left(\frac{7}{9}-\frac{3}{5}\right)AH=\frac{8}{45}\sqrt{45}=\frac{8}{15}\sqrt{5}$.
答案(D):设 $x=BH$。则 $CH=8-x$ 且 $AH^2=7^2-x^2=9^2-(8-x)^2$,所以 $x=2$ 且 $AH=\sqrt{45}$。在 $\triangle ACH$ 中由角平分线定理,$\frac{AP}{PH}=\frac{CA}{CH}=\frac{9}{6}$,所以 $AP=\frac{3}{5}AH$。同理,在 $\triangle ABH$ 中由角平分线定理,$\frac{AQ}{QH}=\frac{BA}{BH}=\frac{7}{2}$,所以 $AQ=\frac{7}{9}AH$。于是 $PQ=AQ-AP=\left(\frac{7}{9}-\frac{3}{5}\right)AH=\frac{8}{45}\sqrt{45}=\frac{8}{15}\sqrt{5}$。
