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?

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.
