Let $ABCD$ be a rectangle with $AB = a$ and $BC = b$. Suppose $r_1$ is the radius of the circle passing through $A$ and $B$ touching $CD$; and similarly $r_2$ is the radius of the circle passing through $B$ and $C$ and touching $AD$. Show that \[ r_1 + r_2 \geq \frac{5}{8} ( a + b) . \]
Four lighthouses are located at points $ A$, $ B$, $ C$, and $ D$. The lighthouse at $ A$ is $ 5$ kilometers from the lighthouse at $ B$, the lighthouse at $ B$ is $ 12$ kilometers from the lighthouse at $ C$, and the lighthouse at $ A$ is $ 13$ kilometers from the lighthouse at $ C$. To an observer at $ A$, the angle determined by the lights at $ B$ and $ D$ and the angle determined by the lights at $ C$ and $ D$ are equal. To an observer at $ C$, the angle determined by the lights at $ A$ and $ B$ and the angle determined by the lights at $ D$ and $ B$ are equal. The number of kilometers from $ A$ to $ D$ is given by $ \displaystyle\frac{p\sqrt{r}}{q}$, where $ p$, $ q$, and $ r$ are relatively prime positive integers, and $ r$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $ p\plus{}q\plus{}r$,
Let $A, B$, and $C$ be three points on the edge of a circular chord such that $B$ is due west of $C$ and $ABC$ is an equilateral triangle whose side is $86$ meters long. A boy swam from $A$ directly toward $B$. After covering a distance of $x$ meters, he turned and swam westward, reaching the shore after covering a distance of $y$ meters. If $x$ and $y$ are both positive integers, determine $y.$
Two circles with radii a and b respectively touch each other externally. Let c be the radius of a circle that touches these two circles as well as a common tangent to the two circles. Prove that

Circle $C$ with radius $2$ has diameter $\overline{AB}$. Circle $D$ is internally tangent to circle $C$ at $A$. Circle $E$ is internally tangent to circle $C,$ externally tangent to circle $D,$ and tangent to $\overline{AB}$. The radius of circle $D$ is three times the radius of circle $E$ and can be written in the form $\sqrt{m} - n,$ where $m$ and $n$ are positive integers. Find $m+n$.
If circular arcs $ AC$ and $ BC$ have centers at $ B$ and $ A$, respectively, then there exists a circle tangent to both $ \stackrel{\frown}{AC}$ and $ \stackrel{\frown}{BC}$, and to $ \overline{AB}$. If the length of $ \stackrel{\frown}{BC}$ is $ 12$, then the circumference of the circle is

In a rectangular plot of land, a man walks in a very peculiar fashion. Labeling the corners $ABCD$, he starts at $A$ and walks to $C$. Then, he walks to the midpoint of side $AD$, say $A_1$. Then, he walks to the midpoint of side $CD$ say $C_1$, and then the midpoint of $A_1D$ which is $A_2$. He continues in this fashion, indefinitely. The total length of his path if $AB=5$ and $BC=12$ is of the form $a + b\sqrt{c}$. Find $\displaystyle\frac{abc}{4}$.
A square with area 4 is inscribed in a square with area 5, with one vertex of the smaller square on each side of the larger square. A vertex of the smaller square divides a side of the larger square into two segments, one of length $a$, and the other of length $b$. What is the value of $ab$ ?
