The discussion centers on seeking high school-level books that provide explanations and solutions for specific geometry problems. Key topics include the Exterior Angle Bisector Theorem, which states that the external angle bisector of a triangle divides the opposite side externally in the ratio of the sides containing the angle, typically applicable to non-equilateral triangles. Additionally, the discussion includes problems involving a cube and a regular tetrahedron, specifically calculating distances and lengths related to these shapes. Recommendations for suitable texts include Kiselev's geometry books and "The Art of Problem Solving: Introduction to Geometry" as well as "Euclidean Geometry in Mathematical Olympiads" by Evan Chen, with an emphasis on proof-heavy content being acceptable.

I am looking for books that contain explanations (or to be able to answer) about something like this:

1) Exterior Angle Bisector Theorem
The external angle bisector of a triangle divides the opposite side externally in the ratio of the sides containing the angle. This condition occurs usually in non-equilateral triangles.

2) Given cube ABCDEFGH with side 2 units and line DF passes through plane ABGH at point T. Find distance ET

3) Given regular tetrahedron TABC with side 3 cm. M is mid point of AT and N is mid point of BC. Find length of MNAny books are ok but preferably high school level.

Thank you

Is a proof-heavy text okay?

no problem
 
Try the two geometry books by Kiselev, or the Art of Problem Solving Introduction to Geometry or Euclidean Geometry in Mathematical Olympiads by Evan Chen
 
Thank you very much Muu9
 
Hello Intellectuals! So far it seems to be reasonable to learn mathematics in a rigorous way by not solely considering the techniques of problem solving or the applications of a particular subject or concept. Also to truly appreciate the beauty of mathematical endeavor one need to learn the reasoning behind the origination of concepts in mathematics, so as a beginner it appears to be worthwhile to learn the highly abstract aspects of mathematics like proofs, logic, and topics in pure...
