The kid cut out of grid paper with the side of the cell $1$ rectangle along the grid lines and calculated its area and perimeter. Carlson snatched his scissors and cut out of this rectangle along the lines of the grid a square adjacent to the boundary of the rectangle.
- My rectangle ... - kid sobbed. - There is something strange about this figure!
- Nonsense, do not mention it - Carlson said - waving his hand carelessly. - Here you see, in this figure the perimeter is the same as the area of the rectangle was, and the area is the same as was the perimeter!
What size square did Carlson cut out?
Determine all positive integers $n$ such that $n$ equals the square of the sum of the digits of $n$.
Give a square of side $1$. Show that for each finite set of points of the sides of the square you can find a vertex of the square with the following property: the arithmetic mean of the squares of the distances from this vertex to the points of the set is greater than or equal to $3/4$.
$ABCD$ is a quadrilateral having both an inscribed circle (one tangent to all four sides) with center $I,$ and a circumscribed circle with center $O$. Let $S$ be the point of intersection of the diagonals of $ABCD$. Show that if any two of $S, I$ and $O$ coincide, then $ABCD$ is a square (and hence all three coincide).
Points $E$ and $F$ are chosen on the sides $AB$ and $BC$ respectively of a square $ABCD$ such that $BE=BF$. Let $BN$ be an altitude of the triangle $BCE$. Prove that the triangle $DNF$ is right-angled.
Points $A ,B ,C ,D$ lie on a line in this order. Draw parallel lines $a$ and $b$ through $A$ and $B$, respectively, and parallel lines $c$ and $d$ through $C$ and $D$, respectively, such that their points of intersection are vertices of a square. Prove that the side length of this square does not depend on the length of segment $BC$.
a) Each point, on the perimeter of a square, is colored either red, or blue. Show that, there is a right-angled triangle where all the corners are on the square of the square and so that all the corners are on points of the same color.
b) Show that, it is possible to color each point on the perimeter of one square, red, white, or blue so that, there is not a right-angled triangle where all the three corners are at points of same color.
The diagonals $AC$ and $BD$ of a convex quadrilateral $ABCD$ meet at $O$. Let $m$ be the measure of the acute angle formed by these diagonals. A variable angle $xOy$ of measure $m$ intersects the quadrilateral by a convex quadrilateral of constant area. Prove that $ABCD$ is a square.
In triangle $ABC$ we inscribe a square such that one of the sides of the square lies on the side $AC$, and the other two vertices lie on sides $AB$ and $BC$. Furthermore we know that $AC = 5$, $BC = 4$ and $AB = 3$. This square cuts out three smaller triangles from $\vartriangle ABC$. Express the sum of reciprocals of the inradii of these three small triangles as a fraction $p/q$ in lowest terms (i.e. with $p$ and $q$ coprime). What is $p + q$?
The vertices of the pentagon $ABCDE$ are on a circle, and the points $H_1, H_2, H_3,H_4$ are the orthocenters of the triangles $ABC, ABE, ACD, ADE$ respectively . Prove that the quadrilateral determined by the four orthocenters is square if and only if $BE \parallel CD$ and the distance between them is $\frac{BE + CD}{2}$.
The figure shows a square and a circle with a common center $O$, with equal areas of striped shapes. Find the value of $\cos a$.

Consider any five points in the interior of square $S$ of side length $1$. Prove that at least one of the distances between these points is less than $\sqrt{2} \slash 2.$ Can this constant be replaced by a smaller number?

Let $ABC$ be an equilateral triangle with side length $10$. A square $PQRS$ is inscribed in it, with $P$ on $AB, Q, R$ on $BC$ and $S$ on $AC$. If the area of the square $PQRS$ is $m +n\sqrt{k}$ where $m, n$ are integers and $k$ is a prime number then determine the value of $\sqrt{\frac{m+n}{k^2}}$.
