A rectangle $ D$ is partitioned in several ($ \ge2$) rectangles with sides parallel to those of $ D$. Given that any line parallel to one of the sides of $ D$, and having common points with the interior of $ D$, also has common interior points with the interior of at least one rectangle of the partition; prove that there is at least one rectangle of the partition having no common points with $ D$'s boundary.

Let $ ABC $ be an obtuse triangle with $ \angle A > 90^{\circ} $. Let circle $ O $ be the circumcircle of $ ABC $. $ D $ is a point lying on segment $ AB $ such that $ AD = AC $. Let $ AK $ be the diameter of circle $ O $. Two lines $ AK $ and $ CD $ meet at $ L $. A circle passing through $ D, K, L $ meets with circle $ O $ at $ P ( \ne K ) $ . Given that $ AK = 2, \angle BCD = \angle BAP = 10^{\circ} $, prove that $ DP = \sin ( \frac{ \angle A}{2} )$.
