We have four white equilateral triangles of 3 cm on each side and join them by their sides to obtain a triangular base pir'amide. At each edge of the pyramid we mark two red dots that divide it into three equal parts. Number the red dots, so that when you scroll them in the order they were numbered, result a path with the smallest possible perimeter. How much does that path measure?

A rectangle of paper of $3$ cm by $9$ cm is folded along a straight line, making two opposite vertices coincide. In this way a pentagon is formed. Calculate your area.
2007 May Olympiad L1 P5
You have a paper pentagon, $ABCDE$, such that $AB = BC = 3$ cm, $CD = DE= 5$ cm, $EA = 4$ cm, $\angle ABC = 100^o , \angle CDE = 80^o$. You have to divide the pentagon into four triangles, by three straight cuts, so that with the four triangles assemble a rectangle, without gaps or overlays. (The triangles can be rotated and / or turned around.)

Let $ABF$ be a right-angled triangle with $\angle AFB = 90$, a square $ABCD$ is externally to the triangle. If $FA = 6$, $FB = 8$ and $E$ is the circumcenter of the square $ABCD$, determine the value of $EF$

Three circumferences are tangent to each other, as shown in the figure. The region of the outer circle that is not covered by the two inner circles has an area equal to $2 \pi$ . Determine the length of the $PQ$ segment
A closed container in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped contains $1$ liter of water. If the container rests horizontally on three different sides, the water level is $2$ cm, $4$ cm and $5$ cm. Calculate the volume of the parallelepiped.

In the rectangle $ABCD, BC = 5, EC = 1/3 CD$ and $F$ is the point where $AE$ and $BD$ are cut. The triangle $DFE$ has area $12$ and the triangle $ABF$ has area $27$. Find the area of the quadrilateral $BCEF$ .
From a paper quadrilateral like the one in the figure, you have to cut out a new quadrilateral whose area is equal to half the area of the original quadrilateral.You can only bend one or more times and cut by some of the lines of the folds. Describe the folds and cuts and justify that the area is half.
Let $ABCD$ be a square of side paper $10$ and $P$ a point on side $BC$. By folding the paper along the $AP$ line, point $B$ determines the point $Q$, as seen in the figure. The line $PQ$ cuts the side $CD$ at $R$. Calculate the perimeter of the$ PCR$ triangle.
Let $ABC$ be a right triangle and isosceles, with $\angle C = 90^o$. Let $M$ be the midpoint of $AB$ and $N$ the midpoint of $AC$. Let $P$ be such that $MNP$ is an equilateral triangle with $P$ inside the quadrilateral $MBCN$. Calculate the measure of $\angle CAP$

In the quadrilateral $ABCD$, we have $\angle C$ is triple of $\angle A$, let $P$ be a point in the side $AB$ such that $\angle DPA = 90º$ and let $Q$ be a point in the segment $DA$ where $\angle BQA = 90º$ the segments $DP$ and $CQ$ intersects in $O$ such that $BO = CO = DO$, find $\angle A$ and $\angle C$.

In a triangle $ABC$, let $D$ and $E$ point in the sides $BC$ and $AC$ respectively. The segments $AD$ and $BE$ intersects in $O$, midline ( parallel to $ AB$ ) intersects $DE$ in its midpoint, show that the triangle $ABO$ and the quadrilateral $ODCE$ have the same area.

Let $ABCD$ be a rhombus of sides $AB = BC = CD= DA = 13$. On the side $AB$ construct the rhombus $BAFE$ outside $ABCD$ and such that the side $AF$ is parallel to the diagonal $BD$ of $ABCD$. If the area of $BAFE$ is equal to $65$, calculate the area of $ABCD$.
Let $ABCDEFGHIJ$ be a regular $10$-sided polygon that has all its vertices in one circle with center $O$ and radius $5$. The diagonals $AD$ and $BE$ intersect at $P$ and the diagonals $AH$ and $BI$ intersect at $Q$. Calculate the measure of the segment $PQ$.
A clueless ant makes the following route: starting at point $ A $ goes $ 1$ cm north, then $ 2$ cm east, then $ 3$ cm south, then $ 4$ cm west, immediately $ 5$ cm north, continues $ 6$ cm east, and so on, finally $ 41$ cm north and ends in point $ B $. Calculate the distance between $ A $ and $ B $ (in a straight line).
In a forest there are $5$ trees $A, B, C, D, E$ that are in that order on a straight line. At the midpoint of $AB$ there is a daisy, at the midpoint of $BC$ there is a rose bush, at the midpoint of $CD$ there is a jasmine, and at the midpoint of $DE$ there is a carnation. The distance between $A$ and $E$ is $28$ m; the distance between the daisy and the carnation is $20$ m. Calculate the distance between the rose bush and the jasmine.
Facundo and Luca have been given a cake that is shaped like the quadrilateral in the figure.
They are going to make two straight cuts on the cake, thus obtaining $4$ portions in the shape of a quadrilateral. Then Facundo will be left with two portions that do not share any side, the other two will be for Luca. Show how they can cut the cuts so that both children get the same amount of cake. Justify why cutting in this way achieves the objective.
Vero had an isosceles triangle made of paper. Using scissors, he divided it into three smaller triangles and painted them blue, red and green. Having done so, he observed that:
$\bullet$ with the blue triangle and the red triangle an isosceles triangle can be formed,
$\bullet$ with the blue triangle and the green triangle an isosceles triangle can be formed,
$\bullet$ with the red triangle and the green triangle an isosceles triangle can be formed.
Show what Vero's triangle looked like and how he might have made the cuts to make this situation be possible.
