Given a billiard in the form of a regular $1998$-gon $A_1A_2...A_{1998}$. A ball was released from the midpoint of side $A_1A_2$, which, reflected therefore from sides $A_2A_3$, $A_3A_4$, . . . , $A_{1998}A_1$ (according to the law, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection), returned to the starting point. Prove that the trajectory of the ball is a regular $1998$-gon.

Equilateral triangle $ABC$ has side length $2$. A semicircle is drawn with diameter $BC$ such that it lies outside the triangle, and minor arc $BC$ is drawn so that it is part of a circle centered at $A$. The area of the “lune” that is inside the semicircle but outside sector $ABC$ can be expressed in the form $\sqrt{p}-\frac{q\pi}{r}$, where $p, q$, and $ r$ are positive integers such that $q$ and $r$ are relatively prime. Compute $p + q + r$.
