a) Given $5$ points on a plane, no three of which lie on one line. Prove that four of these points can be taken as vertices of a convex quadrilateral. b) Inside a square, consider a convex quadrilateral and inside the quadrilateral, take a point $A$. It so happens that no three of the $9$ points — the vertices of the square, of the quadrilateral and $A$ — lie on one line. Prove that $5$ of these points are vertices of a convex pentagon.

A convex pentagon $P $ is divided by all its diagonals into ten triangles and one smaller pentagon $P'$. Let $N$ be the sum of areas of five triangles adjacent to the sides of $P$ decreased by the area of $P'$. The same operations are performed with the pentagon $P'$, let $N'$ be the similar difference calculated for this pentagon. Prove that $N > N'$. (A.Belov)

We have four wooden triangles with sides $3, 4, 5$ centimeters. How many convex polygons can we make by all of these triangles? (Just draw the polygons without any proof) A convex polygon is a polygon which all of it's angles are less than $180^o$ and there isn't any hole in it.
