Let $ ABCD$ be a convex quadrilateral such that the sides $ AB, AD, BC$ satisfy $ AB \equal{} AD \plus{} BC.$ There exists a point $ P$ inside the quadrilateral at a distance $ h$ from the line $ CD$ such that $ AP \equal{} h \plus{} AD$ and $ BP \equal{} h \plus{} BC.$ Show that: \[ \frac {1}{\sqrt {h}} \geq \frac {1}{\sqrt {AD}} \plus{} \frac {1}{\sqrt {BC}} \]

Let $S$ be a convex quadrilateral $ABCD$ and $O$ a point inside it. The feet of the perpendiculars from $O$ to $AB, BC, CD, DA$ are $A_1, B_1, C_1, D_1$ respectively. The feet of the perpendiculars from $O$ to the sides of $S_i$, the quadrilateral $A_iB_iC_iD_i$, are $A_{i+1}B_{i+1}C_{i+1}D_{i+1}$, where $i = 1, 2, 3.$ Prove that $S_4$ is similar to S.

The diagonals of a convex quadrilateral $ABCD$ meet at point $L$. The orthocenter $H$ of the triangle $LAB$ and the circumcenters $O_1, O_2$, and $O_3$ of the triangles $LBC, LCD$, and $LDA$ were marked. Then the whole configuration except for points $H, O_1, O_2$, and $O_3$ was erased. Restore it using a compass and a ruler.

There exists point $O$ inside a convex quadrilateral $ABCD$ satisfying $OA=OB$ and $OC=OD$, and $\angle AOB = \angle COD=90^{\circ}$. Consider two squares, (1)square having $AC$ as one side and located in the opposite side of $B$ and (2)square having $BD$ as one side and located in the opposite side of $E$. If the common part of these two squares is also a square, prove that $ABCD$ is an inscribed quadrilateral.
