    Let ABCABC be a triangle and PQRSPQRS a square with PP on ABAB , QQ on ACAC , and RR and SS on BCBC . Let HH on BCBC such that AHAH is the altitude of the triangle from AA to base BCBC . Prove that:

    (a) 1AH+1BC=1PQ\frac{1}{AH} +\frac{1}{BC}=\frac{1}{PQ} (b) the area of ABCABC is twice the area of PQRSPQRS iff AH=BCAH=BC
