Найдите площадь квадрата, изображенного на рисунке, где две окружности рад иусом 5 см каждая касаются друг друга и общей касательной, а квадрат вписан между окружностями и касательной.
Understanding the Problem
First, let's break down the given information:
- Two Circles: There are two circles, each with a radius of 5 cm.
- Tangency Conditions:
- The two circles are tangent to each other.
- Both circles are tangent to a common line (let's call this the "common tangent").
- Square Inscribed: A square is inscribed between the two circles and the common tangent. This means:
- The square is tangent to both circles.
- The square is tangent to the common tangent line.
- The square is positioned such that one of its sides lies along the common tangent, and the other two sides touch the circles.
Visualizing the Scenario
It's often helpful to draw a diagram:
- Draw the common tangent line horizontally; let's call this the x-axis for reference.
- Place the two circles above this line, tangent to it. Since the radius is 5 cm, the centers of the circles are 5 cm above the x-axis.
- The two circles are tangent to each other, so the distance between their centers is the sum of their radii: 5 + 5 = 10 cm.
- The square is placed such that its bottom side lies along the x-axis (the common tangent), and its top side touches both circles. The left and right sides of the square will touch the circles.
Determining the Position of the Circles
Let's assign coordinates to make calculations easier:
- Place the common tangent along the line y = 0.
- Let the centers of the two circles be at (a, 5) and (a + 10, 5), since they are tangent to each other and each has radius 5 cm.
Understanding the Square's Position
The square is inscribed between the circles and the common tangent. This implies:
- The bottom side of the square lies on y = 0.
- The top side of the square is a horizontal line y = s, where s is the side length of the square (since it's a square, all sides are equal).
- The top side must be tangent to both circles. This means the distance from the center of each circle to the top side of the square must be equal to the radius (5 cm).
However, the centers are at y = 5, and the top side of the square is at y = s. For the top side to be tangent to the circles, the distance from the center to the top side must be the radius:
Distance from (a, 5) to y = s is |5 - s| = 5.
This gives two possibilities:
- 5 - s = 5 ⇒ s = 0 (invalid, as the square has positive area)
- 5 - s = -5 ⇒ s = 10 cm
But if s = 10 cm, then the top side is at y = 10, which is 5 cm above the centers at y = 5. This would imply the top side is tangent to the circles, but the circles are only 5 cm in radius, so this seems correct.
However, we also need to consider that the square is between the two circles. The top side of the square is from x = left side to x = right side, and these sides must touch the circles.
Re-evaluating the Square's Position
Upon closer inspection, the square is inscribed between the circles and the common tangent. This likely means:
- The square is below the centers of the circles, with its top side touching the circles.
- The bottom side is on the common tangent (y = 0).
- The top side is at y = s, and the distance from the centers (y = 5) to this line is 5 - s.
- For the top side to be tangent to the circles, 5 - s = 5 ⇒ s = 0, which is impossible.
This suggests my initial interpretation might be incorrect.
Alternative Interpretation: Square Between Circles and Tangent
Perhaps the square is positioned such that:
- One side lies along the common tangent (bottom side on y = 0).
- The two adjacent sides extend upwards and are tangent to the circles.
- The top side is parallel to the common tangent and touches both circles.
In this case, the square has side length s. The centers are at (a, 5) and (a + 10, 5). The square's bottom is at y = 0, top at y = s.
The top side at y = s must be tangent to both circles, so the distance from (a, 5) to y = s is 5 - s = 5 ⇒ s = 0, again impossible.
This indicates that the square is not aligned with its sides parallel to the axes in this manner.
Correct Interpretation: Square in the Space Between
Let's consider that the square is placed such that:
- One side lies along the common tangent (let's say the bottom side is on y = 0).
- The two upper corners of the square touch the two circles respectively.
- The square is "standing" vertically in the space between the circles.
In this case:
- The square has side length s.
- The bottom side is from (x, 0) to (x + s, 0).
- The top side is from (x, s) to (x + s, s).
- The upper corners are at (x, s) and (x + s, s), which must lie on the circles.
Given the centers are at (a, 5) and (a + 10, 5), the circles have equations:
- (X - a)² + (Y - 5)² = 25
- (X - (a + 10))² + (Y - 5)² = 25
The top corners are (x, s) and (x + s, s), which lie on the circles:
- (x - a)² + (s - 5)² = 25
- (x + s - (a + 10))² + (s - 5)² = 25
From these two equations, we can set them equal since both equal 25:
(x - a)² = (x + s - a - 10)²
Taking square roots:
x - a = ±(x + s - a - 10)
Case 1: x - a = x + s - a - 10 ⇒ 0 = s - 10 ⇒ s = 10
Then from equation 1:
(x - a)² + (10 - 5)² = 25 ⇒ (x - a)² + 25 = 25 ⇒ (x - a)² = 0 ⇒ x = a
So the square's bottom left is at (a, 0), and top left at (a, 10), which is directly above the center of the first circle. But the circle's equation is (X - a)² + (Y - 5)² = 25, so (a, 10) is on the circle since (a - a)² + (10 - 5)² = 25, which checks out.
Similarly, the top right corner is at (a + 10, 10), which is on the second circle: (a + 10 - a - 10)² + (10 - 5)² = 0 + 25 = 25, which is correct.
Thus, the square has side length 10 cm, and its area is 10 * 10 = 100 cm².
However, this seems to imply the square is aligned such that its sides are parallel to the axes, and it spans from x = a to x = a + 10, y = 0 to y = 10. But the circles are centered at (a,5) and (a+10,5) with radius 5, so the square exactly encompasses both circles vertically, which might not be the intended "inscribed between" interpretation.
Re-examining the Problem Statement
The original problem states: "квадрат вписан между окружностями и касательной" - "a square is inscribed between the circles and the tangent."
This likely means the square is in the space between the two circles and the common tangent, touching all three:
- The common tangent (one side of the square lies on it).
- The two circles (the other sides touch the circles).
Given the two circles are tangent to each other and to the common tangent, the setup is:
- Common tangent: y = 0.
- Circle 1: center at (5, 5), radius 5 (since it's tangent to y=0 and radius is 5).
- Circle 2: tangent to Circle 1 and to y=0, so its center is at (5 + 10, 5) = (15, 5), radius 5.
Now, the square is between these. The space between the two circles and the tangent is the area above y=0 and between the circles. The square must fit here, touching:
- The line y=0 (bottom side).
- The left circle (Circle 1).
- The right circle (Circle 2).
Given the symmetry, the square is likely centered between the circles.
Calculating the Square's Dimensions
Let the square have side length s, with its bottom side from (x, 0) to (x + s, 0), and top side from (x, s) to (x + s, s).
The square must touch both circles. The circles are:
- (X - 5)² + (Y - 5)² = 25
- (X - 15)² + (Y - 5)² = 25
The square touches the circles along its top and possibly the sides. The most straightforward is that the top corners touch the circles:
Top left corner (x, s) on Circle 1:
(x - 5)² + (s - 5)² = 25
Top right corner (x + s, s) on Circle 2:
(x + s - 15)² + (s - 5)² = 25
From these:
(x - 5)² = (x + s - 15)²
Taking square roots:
x - 5 = ±(x + s - 15)
Case 1: x - 5 = x + s - 15 ⇒ -5 = s - 15 ⇒ s = 10
Then from the first equation:
(x - 5)² + (10 - 5)² = 25 ⇒ (x - 5)² + 25 = 25 ⇒ (x - 5)² = 0 ⇒ x = 5
So the square is from (5, 0) to (15, 10), which is 10 cm wide and 10 cm high, area 100 cm².
This seems consistent: the top left is at (5,10), which is exactly above the center of Circle 1 at (5,5), distance is 5, so on the circle. Similarly, top right at (15,10) is above Circle 2's center at (15,5), distance 5, on the circle.
But is this "between" the circles? The square spans exactly from the left edge of Circle 1 to the right edge of Circle 2, which seems to encompass rather than be between. Perhaps the square is smaller and fits in the "valley" between the circles.
Alternative Approach: Square Tangent to Circles and Line
Consider that the square has:
- Bottom side on y = 0.
- Left side tangent to Circle 1.
- Right side tangent to Circle 2.
- Top side also tangent to both circles (but this seems impossible as the circles are separate).
This seems complex. Instead, the square is likely standing vertically, with:
- Bottom side on y = 0.
- Left upper corner on Circle 1.
- Right upper corner on Circle 2.
This is what we did earlier, yielding s = 10 cm.
Verifying the Interpretation
Given the phrasing "inscribed between the circles and the tangent," the square must fit in the space bounded by:
- The common tangent (y = 0).
- The left circle (left side).
- The right circle (right side).
The only way this makes sense is the square stands vertically, touching y=0 and the two circles at its top corners.
Thus, the square has height equal to its side length s, and its top corners are at (x, s) and (x + s, s), touching the circles:
(x - 5)² + (s - 5)² = 25
(x + s - 15)² + (s - 5)² = 25
Solving as before gives s = 10 cm.
Final Calculation
As derived:
From (x - 5)² = (x + s - 15)², we get s = 10 cm (the other solution x - 5 = -(x + s - 15) leads to x = (20 - s)/2, but substituting back gives the same s).
Thus, the area of the square is s² = 10² = 100 cm².
Conclusion
After carefully analyzing the positions and the geometric constraints, the area of the square is:
100 cm²
