1. Inside an equilateral triangle of side length 6, three congruent equilateral triangles of side length x
with sides parallel to the original equilateral triangle are arranged so that each has a vertex on a side
of the larger triangle, and a vertex on another one of the three equilateral triangles, as shown below.

A smaller equilateral triangle formed between the three congruent equilateral triangles has side length

2. Let ABC be a triangle with ∠BAC = 90◦ . Let D, E, and F be the feet of altitude, angle bisector,
and median from A to BC, respectively. If DE = 3 and EF = 5, compute the length of BC.
3. Let Ω and ω be circles with radii 123 and 61, respectively, such that the center of Ω lies on ω. A chord
of Ω is cut by ω into three segments, whose lengths are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3 in that order. Given that
this chord is not a diameter of Ω, compute the length of this chord.
4. Let ABCD be a square, and let ℓ be a line passing through the midpoint of segment AB that intersects
segment BC. Given that the distances from A and C to ℓ are 4 and 7, respectively, compute the area
of ABCD.
5. Let ABCD be a convex trapezoid such that ∠DAB = ∠ABC = 90◦ , DA = 2, AB = 3, and BC = 8.
Let ω be a circle passing through A and tangent to segment CD at point T . Suppose that the center
of ω lies on line BC. Compute CT .
6. In triangle ABC, a circle ω with center O passes through B and C and intersects segments AB and AC
again at B ′ and C ′ , respectively. Suppose that the circles with diameters BB ′ and CC ′ are externally
tangent to each other at T . If AB = 18, AC = 36, and AT = 12, compute AO.
7. Let ABC be an acute triangle. Let D, E, and F be the feet of altitudes from A, B, and C to sides BC,
CA, and AB, respectively, and let Q be the foot of altitude from A to line EF . Given that AQ = 20,
BC = 15, and AD = 24, compute the perimeter of triangle DEF .
8. Let ABT CD be a convex pentagon with area 22 such that AB = CD and the circumcircles of triangles
T AB and T CD are internally tangent. Given that ∠AT D = 90◦ , ∠BT C = 120◦ , BT = 4, and CT = 5,
compute the area of triangle T AD.
9. Let ABC be a triangle. Let X be the point on side AB such that ∠BXC = 60◦ . Let P be the point
on segment CX such that BP ⊥ AC. Given that AB = 6, AC = 7, and BP = 4, compute CP .
10. Suppose point P is inside quadrilateral ABCD such that
∠P AB = ∠P DA,
∠P AD = ∠P DC,
∠P BA = ∠P CB, and
∠P BC = ∠P CD.
If P A = 4, P B = 5, and P C = 10, compute the perimeter of ABCD.
