Geometry
1. Dodecagon QW ART ZSP HIN X has all side lengths equal to 2, is not self-intersecting (in particular,
the twelve vertices are all distinct), and moreover each interior angle is either 90◦ or 270◦ . What are
all possible values of the area of 4SIX?
2. Let ABC be a triangle with AB = 13, BC = 14, CA = 15. Let H be the orthocenter of ABC. Find
the distance between the circumcenters of triangles AHB and AHC.
3. In the below picture, T is an equilateral triangle with a side length of 5 and ω is a circle with a radius
of 2. The triangle and the circle have the same center. Let X be the area of the shaded region, and
let Y be the area of the starred region. What is X − Y ?
4. Let ABC be a triangle with AB = 3, AC = 8, BC = 7 and let M and N be the midpoints of AB and
AC, respectively. Point T is selected on side BC so that AT = T C. The circumcircles of triangles
BAT , M AN intersect at D. Compute DC.
5. Nine pairwise noncongruent circles are drawn in the plane such that any two circles intersect twice.
For each pair of circles, we draw the line through these two points, for a total of 92 = 36 lines. Assume
that all 36 lines drawn are distinct. What is the maximum possible number of points which lie on at
least two of the drawn lines?
6. Let ABC be a triangle with incenter I, incircle γ and circumcircle Γ. Let M , N , P be the midpoints
of sides BC, CA, AB and let E, F be the tangency points of γ with CA and AB, respectively. Let U ,
V be the intersections of line EF with line M N and line M P , respectively, and let X be the midpoint
\ of Γ. Given that AB = 5, AC = 8, and ∠A = 60◦ , compute the area of triangle XU V .

7. Let S = {(x, y)|x, y ∈ Z, 0 ≤ x, y, ≤ 2016}. Given points A = (x1 , y1 ), B = (x2 , y2 ) in S, define
d2017 (A, B) = (x1 − x2 )2 + (y1 − y2 )2 (mod 2017).
The points A = (5, 5), B = (2, 6), C = (7, 11) all lie in S. There is also a point O ∈ S that satisfies
d2017 (O, A) = d2017 (O, B) = d2017 (O, C).
Find d2017 (O, A).
8. For i = 0, 1, . . . , 5 let li be the ray on the Cartesian plane starting at the origin, an angle θ = i π3
counterclockwise from the positive x-axis. For each i, point Pi is chosen uniformly at random from
the intersection of li with the unit disk. Consider the convex hull of the points Pi , which will (with
probability 1) be a convex polygon with n vertices for some n. What is the expected value of n?
9. In cyclic quadrilateral ABCD with AB = AD = 49 and AC = 73, let I and J denote the incenters of
triangles ABD and CBD. If diagonal BD bisects IJ, find the length of IJ.
10. The incircle of a triangle ABC is tangent to BC at D. Let H and Γ denote the orthocenter and
circumcircle of 4ABC. The B-mixtilinear incircle, centered at OB , is tangent to lines BA and BC
and internally tangent to Γ.
√ The C-mixtilinear incircle, centered at OC , is defined similarly. Suppose
that DH ⊥ OB OC , AB = 3 and AC = 2. Find BC.
