integer n ^ 2 such that nm > M. Since 2, it follows that n/2 ^ n - 1.

Let M\ be what remains after

we subtract from M a part not less than its half. Then
,, ^M nm
M\ = — < — ^ (n - 1 )m.
Continuing this process we finally get Mn-X < m.
(b) In Figure 139, HA = HB < HD. Therefore A HBD > A HBA, or A HKD > (1/2 )(ABCD).
11.2 (a) We have (OM)(AO) = (OP)(AC). Summing we then find
(area of segment)^) = {AAFC)KCI3.
11.3 (a) 2rrrh.
(b) Consult a calculus text.
(c) V = 2r2h/3, r = radius of cylinder and h = altitude of wedge.
(d) V = 16r3/3.
11.4 (a) (1) Consider the triangular prism ABC-A'B'C'. Dissect the prism by the
planes B'AC and B'A'C.
(c) V = 2r2h/3.
(d) V = tt/z3/6.
(e) See (d).
(g) V = 2tt2ct2.
(h) A = tt a2.
(i) Equally spaced chords between 2 sides of a polygon change length uniformly, whereas
equally spaced chords in a circle do not.
11.5 (b) Let O be any point in the midsection and remove from the prismatoid the
pyramids Pv and PL having O as vertex and having the upper and lower bases, respectively, as
bases. Then the volumes of Pv and PL are given by hU/6 and hLI6. Now draw face diagonals, if
necessary, so that all lateral faces of the prismatoid are triangles, and pass planes through O and
the lateral edges, dividing the remaining piece of the prismatoid into a set of pyramids each
having O as a vertex and a lateral triangular face of the prismatoid for opposite base. Show that
the volume of one of these pyramids is 4/z5/6, where S is the area of the midsection of the
prismatoid included in the pyramid.
(c) Any section, being a quadratic function of the distance from one base, is equal to the
algebraic sum of a constant section area of a prism, a section area (proportional to the distance
from the base) of a wedge, and a section area (proportional to the square of the distance from the
base) of a pyramid. Thus the prismatoid is equal to the algebraic sum of the volumes of a
parallelepiped, a wedge, and a pyramid. Now apply (a).
(d) Let A(jc) = ax2 + bx + c. Show that
y = j* A(x)dx = | [a(0) + 4a(|) + A(h)].
