Let $ABC$ be a triangle with sides 3, 4, and 5, and $DEFG$ be a 6-by-7 rectangle. A segment is drawn to divide triangle $ABC$ into a triangle $U_1$ and a trapezoid $V_1$ and another segment is drawn to divide rectangle $DEFG$ into a triangle $U_2$ and a trapezoid $V_2$ such that $U_1$ is similar to $U_2$ and $V_1$ is similar to $V_2$. The minimum value of the area of $U_1$ can be written in the form $m/n$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.
Rectangle $ ABCD$ and a semicircle with diameter $ AB$ are coplanar and have nonoverlapping interiors. Let $ \mathcal{R}$ denote the region enclosed by the semicircle and the rectangle. Line $ \ell$ meets the semicircle, segment $ AB$, and segment $ CD$ at distinct points $ N$, $ U$, and $ T$, respectively. Line $ \ell$ divides region $ \mathcal{R}$ into two regions with areas in the ratio $ 1: 2$. Suppose that $ AU \equal{} 84$, $ AN \equal{} 126$, and $ UB \equal{} 168$. Then $ DA$ can be represented as $ m\sqrt {n}$, where $ m$ and $ n$ are positive integers and $ n$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $ m \plus{} n$.

Their angles at $A_i$ and $B_i$ are $60^o$ and the sides $A_1B_1$, $B_2C_2$ and $A_3D_3$ are parallel.

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));
draw(origin--(4,0)--(4,2)--(0,2)--cycle);
draw(rightanglemark((4,2), (4,0), origin));
draw(rightanglemark((0,2), origin, (4,0)));
label("4 in", (2,0), S);
label("2 in", (4,1), E);[/asy]
