We assume P is a fixed point and we adjust M and N to achieve the minimum. Otherwise they all shrink to O. When the perimeter reaches the minimum, we must have 角NMO = 角NMA and 角MNO = 角MNB. Because 角NMO + 角MNO = 180° - 角AOB, we have 角NMP + 角MNP = 360° - 2 * (角NMO + 角MNO) = 2 * 角AOB. Therefore 角MPN = 180° - 2 * 角AOB. In this particular case, it is 100° This is a very nice problem with a very nice result. BTW Mr or Ms 烟, I would like to post this problem to another forum if I have your permission. I will, of course, credit it to you and this forum. |
"When the perimeter reaches the minimum, we must have 角NMO = 角AMP (not NMA) and 角MNO = 角BNP (not MNB)", I guess, hehe. |
Yes, thanks. You know what I mean. |
