A part of a forest park which is located between two roads has caught fire. The fire is spreading at a speed of $10$ kilometers per hour. If the distance between the starting point of the fire and both roads is $10$ kilometers, what is the area of the burned region after two hours in kilometers squared? (Assume that the roads are long, straight parallel lines and the fire does not enter the roads)

A tetrahedron is a polyhedron composed of four triangular faces. Faces $ABC$ and $BCD$ of a tetrahedron $ABCD$ meet at an angle of $\pi/6$. The area of triangle $\triangle ABC$ is $120$. The area of triangle $\triangle BCD$ is $80$, and $BC = 10$. What is the volume of the tetrahedron? We call the volume of a tetrahedron as one-third the area of it's base times it's height.
Rosa and Sara play with a triangle $ABC$, right at $B$. Rosa begins by marking two interior points of the hypotenuse $AC$, then Sara marks an interior point of the hypotenuse $AC$ different from those of Rosa. Then, from these three points the perpendiculars to the sides $AB$ and $BC$ are drawn, forming the following figure.
