A $9\times 7$ rectangle is tiled with tiles of the two types: L-shaped tiles composed by three unit squares (can be rotated repeatedly with $90^\circ$) and square tiles composed by four unit squares.
Let $n\ge 0$ be the number of the $2 \times 2 $ tiles which can be used in such a tiling. Find all the values of $n$.
Let $ k$ be a circle and $ k_{1},k_{2},k_{3},k_{4}$ four smaller circles with their centres $ O_{1},O_{2},O_{3},O_{4}$ respectively, on $ k$.

Let $l$ denote the length of the smallest diagonal of all rectangles inscribed in a triangle $T$ . (By inscribed, we mean that all four vertices of the rectangle lie on the boundary of $T$ .) Determine the maximum value of $\frac{l^2}{S(T)}$ taken over all triangles ($S(T )$ denotes the area of triangle $T$ ).

In a $5 \times 5$ grid of squares, how many nonintersecting pairs rectangles of rectangles are there? (Note sharing a vertex or edge still means the rectangles intersect.)
The triangle $ \triangle SFA$ has a right angle at $ F$. The points $ P$ and $ Q$ lie on the line $ SF$ such that the point $ P$ lies between $ S$ and $ F$ and the point $ F$ is the midpoint of the segment $ [PQ]$.

The [i]cross[/i] of a convex $n$-gon is the quadratic mean of the lengths between the possible pairs of vertices. For example, the cross of a $3 \times 4$ rectangle is $\sqrt{ \dfrac{3^2 + 3^2 + 4^2 + 4^2 + 5^2 + 5^2}{6} } = \dfrac{5}{3} \sqrt{6}$.

Find the largest value o $ M = \frac{S}{2S+p + 2}$ where $p$ is the perimeter of the rectangle.
Consider a rhombus $ABCD$ with center $O$. A point $P$ is given inside the rhombus, but not situated on the diagonals. Let $M,N,Q,R$ be the projections of $P$ on the sides $(AB), (BC), (CD), (DA)$, respectively. The perpendicular bisectors of the segments $MN$ and $RQ$ meet at $S$ and the perpendicular bisectors of the segments $NQ$ and $MR$ meet at $T$. Prove that $P, S, T$ and $O$ are the vertices of a rectangle.
The cell of a $(2m +1) \times (2n +1)$ board are painted in two colors - white and black. The unit cell of a row (column) is called [i]dominant[/i] on the row (the column) if more than half of the cells that row (column) have the same color as this cell. Prove that at least $m + n-1$ cells on the board are dominant in both their row and column.
The length of a rectangle is $ 5$ inches and its width is less than $ 4$ inches. The rectangle is folded so that two diagonally opposite vertices coincide. If the length of the crease is $ \sqrt {6}$, then the width is:
$ \textbf{(A)}\ \sqrt {2} \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ \sqrt {3} \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 2 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ \sqrt {5} \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ \sqrt {\frac {11}{2}}$
A rectangular parking lot has a diagonal of $25$ meters and an area of $168$ square meters. In meters, what is the perimeter of the parking lot?
$ \textbf{(A)}\ 52 \qquad
\textbf{(B)}\ 58 \qquad
\textbf{(C)}\ 62 \qquad
\textbf{(D)}\ 68 \qquad
\textbf{(E)}\ 70 $
If the length of a rectangle is increased by $20\% $ and its width is increased by $50\% $, then the area is increased by
$\text{(A)}\ 10\% \qquad \text{(B)}\ 30\% \qquad \text{(C)}\ 70\% \qquad \text{(D)}\ 80\% \qquad \text{(E)}\ 100\% $
A rectangle has sides of length $a$ and $36$. A hinge is installed at each vertex of the rectangle and at the midpoint of each side of length $36$. The sides of length $a$ can be pressed toward each other keeping those two sides parallel so the rectangle becomes a convex hexagon as shown. When the figure is a hexagon with the sides of length $a$ parallel and separated by a distance of $24,$ the hexagon has the same area as the original rectangle. Find $a^2$.

Given a rectangular grid, split into $m\times n$ squares, a colouring of the squares in two colours (black and white) is called valid if it satisfies the following conditions:
