2002 Germany Team Selection Test, 2

Let $A_1$ be the center of the square inscribed in acute triangle $ABC$ with two vertices of the square on side $BC$. Thus one of the two remaining vertices of the square is on side $AB$ and the other is on $AC$. Points $B_1,\ C_1$ are defined in a similar way for inscribed squares with two vertices on sides $AC$ and $AB$, respectively. Prove that lines $AA_1,\ BB_1,\ CC_1$ are concurrent.

Given a square $ABCD$ with side length $6$. We draw line segments from the midpoints of each side to the vertices on the opposite side. For example, we draw line segments from the midpoint of side $AB$ to vertices $C$ and $D$. The eight resulting line segments together bound an octagon inside the square. What is the area of this octagon?

Tags: paper , folding , nonagon , square , geometry

The paper folding art origami is usually performed with square sheets of paper. Someone folds the sheet once along a line through the center of the sheet in orde to get a nonagon. Let $p$ be the perimeter of the nonagon minus the length of the fold, i.e. the total length of the eight sides that are not folds, and denote by s the original side length of the square. Express the area of the nonagon in terms of $p$ and $s$.

On the plane there are two isosceles non-intersecting right triangles $ABC$ and $DEC$ ($AB$ and $DE$ are the hypotenuses,$ ABDE$ is a convex quadrilateral), and $AB = 2 DE$. Let's construct two more isosceles right triangles: $BDF$ (with hypotenuse $BF$ located outside triangle $BDC$) and $AEG$ (with hypotenuse $AG$ located outside triangle $AEC$). Prove that the line $FG$ passes through a point $N$ such that $DCEN$ is a square.
