1. Let A1 A2 . . . A12 be a regular dodecagon. Equilateral triangles △A1 A2 B1 , △A2 A3 B2 , . . . , and
△A12 A1 B12 are drawn such that points B1 , B2 , . . . , and B12 lie outside dodecagon A1 A2 . . . A12 .
Then, equilateral triangles △A1 A2 C1 , △A2 A3 C2 , . . . , and △A12 A1 C12 are drawn such that
points C1 , C2 , . . . , and C12 lie inside dodecagon A1 A2 . . . A12 . Compute the ratio of the area
of dodecagon B1 B2 . . . B12 to the area of dodecagon C1 C2 . . . C12 .
2. Triangle △ABC has side lengths AB = 39, BC = 16, and CA = 25. What is the volume of the
solid formed by rotating △ABC about line BC?
3. Consider an equilateral triangle △ABC of side length 4. In the zeroth iteration, draw a circle
Ω0 tangent to all three sides of the triangle. In the first iteration, draw circles Ω1A , Ω1B , Ω1C
such that circle Ω1v is externally tangent to Ω0 and tangent to the two sides that meet at vertex
v (for example, Ω1A would be tangent to Ω0 and sides AB, AC). In the nth iteration, draw
circle Ωnv externally tangent to Ωn−1,v and the two sides that meet at vertex v. Compute the
total area of all the drawn circles as the number of iterations approaches infinity.
4. Equilateral triangle △ABC is inscribed in circle Ω, which has a radius of 1. Let the midpoint
of BC be M . Line AM intersects Ω again at point D. Let ω be the circle with diameter M D.
Compute the radius of the circle that is tangent to BC on the same side of BC as ω, internally
tangent to Ω, and externally tangent to ω.
5. Equilateral triangle △ABC has side length 12 and equilateral triangles of side lengths a, b, c < 6
are each cut from a vertex of △ABC, leaving behind an equiangular hexagon A1 A2 B1 B2 C1 C2 ,
where A1 lies on AC, A2 lies on AB, and the rest of the vertices are similarly defined. Let A3
be the midpoint of A1 A2 and define B3 , C3 similarly. Let the center of △ABC be O. Note that
OA3 , OB3 , OC3 split the
√ hexagon into three pentagons. If the sum of the areas of the equilateral
triangles cut out is 18 3 and the ratio of the areas of the pentagons is 5 : 6 : 7, what is the
value of abc?
6. Let ABC be a triangle and ω1 its incircle. Let points D and E be on segments AB, AC
respectively such that DE is parallel to BC and tangent to ω1 . Now let ω2 be the incircle of
△ADE and let points F and G be on segments AD, AE respectively such that F G is parallel
to DE and tangent to ω2 . Given that ω2 is tangent to line AF at point X and line AG at point
Y , the radius of ω1 is 60, and
4(AX) = 5(F G) = 4(AY ),
compute the radius of ω2 .
7. Triangle ABC has AC = 5. D and E are on side BC such that AD and AE trisect ∠BAC,
with D closer to B and DE = 23 , EC = 52 . From B and E, altitudes BF and EG are drawn
CF AF
onto side AC. Compute CG − AG .
8. In triangle △ABC, point R lies on the perpendicular bisector of AC such that CA bisects
∠BAR. Line BR intersects AC at Q, and the circumcircle of △ARC intersects segment AB at
P ̸= A. If AP = 1, P B = 5, and AQ = 2, compute AR.

9. Triangle △ABC is isosceles with AC = AB, BC = 1, and ∠BAC = 36◦ . Let ω be a circle
with center B and radius rω = PABC 4 , where PABC denotes the perimeter of △ABC. Let ω
intersect line AB at P and line BC at Q. Let IB be the center of the excircle with of △ABC
with respect to point B, and let BIB intersect P Q at S. We draw a tangent line from S to ⊙IB
that intersects ⊙IB at point T . Compute the length of ST .
10. Let △ABC be a triangle with side lengths AB = 13, BC = 14, and CA = 15. The angle
bisector of ∠BAC, the angle bisector of ∠ABC, and the angle bisector of ∠ACB intersect the
circumcircle of △ABC again at points D, E and F, respectively. Compute the area of hexagon
AF BDCE.
