Construct an equilateral trapezoid given the height and the midline, if it is known that the midline is divided by diagonals into three equal parts. (Grigory Filippovsky)
$ABCD$ is an isosceles trapezoid with $BC || AD$. A circle $\omega$ passing through $B$ and $C$ intersects the side $AB$ and the diagonal $BD$ at points $X$ and $Y$ respectively. Tangent to $\omega$ at $C$ intersects the line $AD$ at $Z$. Prove that the points $X$, $Y$, and $Z$ are collinear.

Let $ABC$ be an equilateral triangle with the side of $20$ units. Amir divides this triangle into $400$ smaller equilateral triangles with the sides of $1$ unit. Reza then picks $4$ of the vertices of these smaller triangles. The vertices lie inside the triangle $ABC$ and form a parallelogram with sides parallel to the sides of the triangle $ABC.$ There are exactly $46$ smaller triangles that have at least one point in common with the sides of this parallelogram. Find all possible values for the area of this parallelogram.

Let $ ABCD$ be an isosceles trapezoid with $ \overline{AD}\parallel{}\overline{BC}$ whose angle at the longer base $ \overline{AD}$ is $ \dfrac{\pi}{3}$.

Let $ F$ be the foot of the altitude from $ C$ to $ \overline{AD}$. The distance $ EF$ can be expressed in the form $ 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$.
