A pupil has tried to make a copy of a convex polygon, drawn inside the unit circle. He draw one side, from its end -- another, and so on. Having finished, he has noticed that the first and the last vertices do not coincide, but are situated $d$ units of length far from each other. The pupil draw angles precisely, but made relative error less than $p$ in the lengths of sides. Prove that $d < 4p$.

We divide a convex $2009$-gon in triangles using non-intersecting diagonals. One of these diagonals is colored green. It is allowed the following operation: for two triangles $ABC$ and $BCD$ from the dividing/separating with a common side $BC$ if the replaced diagonal was green it loses its color and the replacing diagonal becomes green colored. Prove that if we choose any diagonal in advance it can be colored in green after applying the operation described finite number of times.
