Limits of iterated geometric constructions
[5/100%]In triangle , the bisector is drawn; in triangle , the bisector is drawn; in triangle , the bisector , and so on. Prove that the sequence of measures of the angles , has a limit, and find it, if the angle equals .
The circle inscribed in triangle touches its sides , and at the points , respectively; the circle inscribed in triangle touches its sides at the points , respectively, and so on. Find the limit of the sequence of measures of the angles as .
In trapezoid , the points and are the midpoints of the diagonals and ; in trapezoid , the points and are the midpoints of the diagonals and , and so on. Find , if , in the cases: а) ; б) .
In triangle , medians , and are drawn. On the side , a point is taken, , and from it a point on is found as follows: segments are drawn, then , and finally . Starting from the point , the point is found analogously, and so on.
Prove that the sequence of points converges, and find its limit.
Let be a triangle right-angled at , the perpendicular from to , similarly , , etc. Find the point .
