I am also interested in knowing how the odd number of intersections are possible.gmat740 wrote:Please explain

Triangle
Source: Beat The GMAT — Data Sufficiency |
draw a circle that is tangent to one side and intersect 2 sides twice.
u'll get all possible numbers.. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 all of them are possible.
lemme attach an image..

hey ketkoag
Can u mark the points in the picture where the traingle intersect the circle??
It seems 1 2 3 4 5 to me where is the 6th one??

If you have a triangle that's bigger than a circle and overlapping the circle then the triangle intersects the circle twice near each of its points.
IMO E) 1,2,3,4,5,6
1-when th one of the sides act as a tangent
2-when one of the sides act a a chord
3- when circle is inscribed in a triangle touching all the sides
4-when two sides of the triangle pass through the circle both intersecting at two points and third side lies outside the circle
5- when two sides pass through the circle and the third side is a tangent
6- when a small circle overlaps a bigger circle intersecting all the sides at three points
1-when th one of the sides act as a tangent

The powers of two are bloody impolite!!
