There are $1998$ rectangular pieces $2$ cm wide and $3$ cm long and with them squares are assembled (without overlapping or gaps). What is the greatest number of different squares that can be had at the same time?
The diagram shows twenty congruent circles arranged in three rows and enclosed in a rectangle. The circles are tangent to one another and to the sides of the rectangle as shown in the diagram. The ratio of the longer dimension of the rectangle to the shorter dimension can be written as $\frac{1}{2}\left(\sqrt{p}-q\right),$ where $p$ and $q$ are positive integers. Find $p+q.$

A rectangle can be divided into $n$ equal squares. The same rectangle can also be divided into $n+76$ equal squares. Find $n$.
Let $n \ge 3$ be an integer, and consider a $n \times n$-board, divided into $n^2$ unit squares. For all $m \ge 1$, arbitrarily many $1\times m$-rectangles (type I) and arbitrarily many $m\times 1$-rectangles (type II) are available. We cover the board with $N$ such rectangles, without overlaps, and such that every rectangle lies entirely inside the board. We require that the number of type I rectangles used is equal to the number of type II rectangles used.(Note that a $1 \times 1$-rectangle has both types.)
What is the minimal value of $N$ for which this is possible?
A cardboard box in the shape of a rectangular parallelopiped is to be enclosed in a cylindrical container with a hemispherical lid. If the total height of the container from the base to the top of the lid is $60$ centimetres and its base has radius $30$ centimetres, find the volume of the largest box that can be completely enclosed inside the container with the lid on.
A square is divided by horizontal and vertical lines that form $n^2$ squares each with side $1$. What is the greatest possible value of $n$ such that it is possible to select $n$ squares such that any rectangle with area $n$ formed by the horizontal and vertical lines would contain at least one of the selected $n$ squares.
Let $ABCD$ be a rectangle with $5AD <2 AB$ . On the side $AB$ consider the points $S$ and $T$ such that $AS = ST = TB$. Let $M, N$ and $P$ be the projections of points $A, S$ and $T$ on lines $DS, DT$ and $DB$ respectively .Prove that the points $M, N$, and $P$ are collinear if and only if $15 AD^2 = 2 AB^2$.
$C$, $C'$ are concentric circles with radii $R$, $R'$. A rectangle has two adjacent vertices on $C$ and the other two vertices on $C'$. Find its sides if its area is as large as possible.
A cylindrical log has diameter $ 12$ inches. A wedge is cut from the log by making two planar cuts that go entirely through the log. The first is perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder, and the plane of the second cut forms a $ 45^\circ$ angle with the plane of the first cut. The intersection of these two planes has exactly one point in common with the log. The number of cubic inches in the wedge can be expressed as $ n\pi,$ where $ n$ is a positive integer. Find $ n.$
We are given $n$ distinct rectangles in the plane. Prove that between the $4n$ interior angles formed by these rectangles at least $4\sqrt n$ are distinct.
Given a rectangle $ ABCD,$ let $ AB \equal{} b, AD \equal{} a ( a\geq b),$ three points $ X,Y,Z$ are put inside or on the boundary of the rectangle, arbitrarily. Find the maximum of the minimum of the distances between any two points among the three points. (Denote it by $ a,b$)
An infinite sheet of paper is divided into equal squares, some of which are colored red. In each $2\times3$ rectangle, there are exactly two red squares. Now consider an arbitrary $9\times11$ rectangle. How many red squares does it contain? (The sides of all considered rectangles go along the grid lines.)
a) Prove that it is impossible to divide a rectangle into five squares of distinct sizes.
b) Prove that it is impossible to divide a rectangle into six squares of distinct sizes.
$\textbf{Bake Sale}$
Four friends, Art, Roger, Paul and Trisha, bake cookies, and all cookies have the same thickness. The shapes of the cookies differ, as shown.
$\circ$ Art's cookies are trapezoids:

draw(origin--(5,0)--(5,3)--(2,3)--cycle);
draw(rightanglemark((5,3), (5,0), origin));
label("5 in", (2.5,0), S);
label("3 in", (5,1.5), E);
label("3 in", (3.5,3), N);[/asy]
$\circ$ Roger's cookies are rectangles:
[asy]size(80);defaultpen(linewidth(0.8));defaultpen(fontsize(8));

label("3 in", (1.5,0), S);
label("2 in", (2.5,1), W);[/asy]
$\circ$ Trisha's cookies are triangles:

draw(rightanglemark((3,4),(3,0), origin));
label("3 in", (1.5,0), S);
label("4 in", (3,2), E);[/asy]
Each friend uses the same amount of dough, and Art makes exactly 12 cookies. Art's cookies sell for 60 cents each. To earn the same amount from a single batch, how much should one of Roger's cookies cost in cents?

A rectangle that is inscribed in a larger rectangle (with one vertex on each side) is called [i]unstuck[/i] if it is possible to rotate (however slightly) the smaller rectangle about its center within the confines of the larger. Of all the rectangles that can be inscribed unstuck in a 6 by 8 rectangle, the smallest perimeter has the form $\sqrt{N}$, for a positive integer $N$. Find $N$.
Let $ O$ be the circumcenter of an acute triangle $ ABC$ and let $ k$ be the circle with center $ P$ that is tangent to $ O$ at $ A$ and tangent to side $ BC$ at $ D$. Circle $ k$ meets $ AB$ and $ AC$ again at $ E$ and $ F$ respectively. The lines $ OP$ and $ EP$ meet $ k$ again at $ I$ and $ G$. Lines $ BO$ and $ IG$ intersect at $ H$. Prove that $ \frac{{DF}^2}{AF}\equal{}GH$.
Given big enough sheet of cross-lined paper with the side of the squares equal to $1$. We are allowed to cut it along the lines only. Prove that for every $m>12$ we can cut out a rectangle of the greater than $m$ area such, that it is impossible to cut out a rectangle of $m$ area from it.
6. The baker has baked a rectangular pancake. He then cut it into $n^{2}$ rectangles by making $n-1$ horizontal and $n-1$ vertical cuts. Being rounded to the closest integer, the areas of resulting rectangles equal to all positive integers from 1 to $n^{2}$ in some order. For which maximal $n$ could this happen? (Half-integers are rounded upwards.)

$ABCD$ is a quadrilateral with a circumcircle centre $O$ and an inscribed circle centre $I$. The diagonals intersect at $S$. Show that if two of $O,I,S$ coincide, then it must be a square.
In $\triangle ABC$ we have $BC>CA>AB$. The nine point circle is tangent to the incircle, $A$-excircle, $B$-excircle and $C$-excircle at the points $T,T_A,T_B,T_C$ respectively. Prove that the segments $TT_B$ and lines $T_AT_C$ intersect each other.
Unit square $ABCD$ is divided into four rectangles by $EF$ and $GH$, with $BF = \frac14$. $EF$ is parallel to $AB$ and $GH$ parallel to $BC$. $EF$ and $GH$ meet at point $P$. Suppose $BF + DH = FH$, calculate the nearest integer to the degree of $\angle FAH$.

The diagram below is an example of a ${\textit{rectangle tiled by squares}}$:
[center][img]http://i.imgur.com/XCPQJgk.png[/img][/center]
Each square has been labeled with its side length. The squares fill the rectangle without overlapping. In a similar way, a rectangle can be tiled by nine squares whose side lengths are $2,5,7,9,16,25,28,33$, and $36$. Sketch one such possible arrangement of those squares. They must fill the rectangle without overlapping. Label each square in your sketch by its side length as in the picture above.
