In isosceles triangle $ABC$ with base $BC$, let $M$ be the midpoint of $BC$. Let $P$ be the intersection of the circumcircle of $\vartriangle ACM$ with the circle with center $B$ passing through $M$, such that $P \ne M$. If $\angle BPC = 135^o$, then $\frac{CP}{AP}$ can be written as $a +\sqrt{b}$ for positive integers $a$ and $b$, where $b$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $a + b$.

Given in the plane is a lattice and a grid rectangle with sides parallel to the coordinate axes. We divide the rectangle into grid triangles with area $\frac12$. Prove that the number of right angled triangles is at least twice as much as the shorter side of the rectangle. (A grid polygon is a polygon such that both coordinates of each vertex is an integer.)

In $\triangle ABC$, the sides have integers lengths and $AB=AC$. Circle $\omega$ has its center at the incenter of $\triangle ABC$. An [i]excircle[/i] of $\triangle ABC$ is a circle in the exterior of $\triangle ABC$ that is tangent to one side of the triangle and tangent to the extensions of the other two sides. Suppose that the excircle tangent to $\overline{BC}$ is internally tangent to $\omega$, and the other two excircles are both externally tangent to $\omega$. Find the minimum possible value of the perimeter of $\triangle ABC$.

Let $ABCD$ be a isosceles trapezoid. Base $AD$ is $11$ cm long while the other three sides are each $5$ cm long. We draw the line that is perpendicular to $BD$ and contains $C$ and the line that is perpendicular to $AC$ and contains$ B$. We mark the intersection of these two lines with $E$.
