MCIII Geo help
I don't know how to do 3.12, 3.13, 3.14, and 3.15 (2.)
For 3.12 I tried to split the trapezoid up but that didn't really help.
For the rest I have no clue
3.12 is one of the harder questions with area transformation. To start, let $Q$ be the midpoint of $CD$ and try to connect some midpoints to form parallel lines, then transfer the areas around.
3.13 Use homothety: verify that triangles $ABC$ and $O_1O_2O_3$ are homothetic with center $P$.
3.14 Use translation to move the lines so that all the lines pass through the same point.
3.15 (2) You need to solve (1) first by translating the segments together; this process actually give you some ideas on how to cut up the new triangle and calculate the areas. In fact, the question only provides that the triangle $ABC$ has area 10, so that is the only information you need for the new triangle's area.
