Square $ABCD$ with side length $2$ begins in position $1$ with side $AD$ horizontal and vertex $A$ in the lower right corner. The square is rotated $90^o$ clockwise about vertex $ A$ into position $2$ so that vertex $D$ ends up where vertex $B$ was in position $1$. Then the square is rotated $90^o$ clockwise about vertex $C$ into position $3$ so that vertex $B$ ends up where vertex $D$ was in position $2$ and vertex $B$ was in position $1$, as shown below. The area of the region of points in the plane that were covered by the square at some time during its rotations can be written $\frac{p\pi + \sqrt{q} + r}{s}$, where $p, q, r,$ and $s$ are positive integers, and $p$ and $s$ are relatively prime. Find $p + q + r + s$. [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/9/2/cb15769c30018545abfa82a9f922201c4ae830.png[/img]

$ABC$ is a triangle. Take $a = BC$ etc as usual. Take points $T_1, T_2$ on the side $AB$ so that $AT_1 = T_1T_2 = T_2B$. Similarly, take points $T_3, T_4$ on the side BC so that $BT_3 = T_3T_4 = T_4C$, and points $T_5, T_6$ on the side $CA$ so that $CT_5 = T_5T_6 = T_6A$. Show that if $a' = BT_5, b' = CT_1, c'=AT_3$, then there is a triangle $A'B'C'$ with sides $a', b', c'$ ($a' = B'C$' etc). In the same way we take points $T_i'$ on the sides of $A'B'C' $ and put $a'' = B'T_6', b'' = C'T_2', c'' = A'T_4'$. Show that there is a triangle $A'' B'' C'' $ with sides $a'' b'' , c''$ and that it is similar to $ABC$. Find $a'' /a$.
