Given a cyclic quadrilateral $ABCD$, let $M$ be the midpoint of the side $CD$, and let $N$ be a point on the circumcircle of triangle $ABM$. Assume that the point $N$ is different from the point $M$ and satisfies $\frac{AN}{BN}=\frac{AM}{BM}$. Prove that the points $E$, $F$, $N$ are collinear, where $E=AC\cap BD$ and $F=BC\cap DA$.

Given a triangle $ABC$, show how to construct the point $P$ such that $\angle PAB= \angle PBC= \angle PCA$. Express this angle in terms of $\angle A,\angle B,\angle C$ using trigonometric functions.

Given any triangle $ABC$, show how to construct $A'$ on the side $AB$, $B'$ on the side $BC$ and $C'$ on the side $CA$, such that $ABC$ and $A'B'C'$ are similar (with $\angle A = \angle A', \angle B = \angle B', \angle C = \angle C'$) and $A'B'C'$ has the least possible area.
