Given a square cardboard of area $\frac{1}{4}$, and a paper triangle of area $\frac{1}{2}$ such that the square of its sidelength is a positive integer. Prove that the triangle can be folded in some ways such that the squace can be placed inside the folded figure so that both of its faces are completely covered with paper.

In circle $\theta_1$ with radius $1$, circles $\phi_1, \phi_2, \dots, \phi_8$, with equal radii, are drawn such that for $1 \le i \le 8$, $\phi_i$ is tangent to $\omega_1$, $\phi_{i-1}$, and $\phi_{i+1}$, where $\phi_0 = \phi_8$ and $\phi_1 = \phi_9$. There exists a circle $\omega_2$ such that $\omega_1 \neq \omega_2$ and $\omega_2$ is tangent to $\phi_i$ for $1 \le i \le 8$. The radius of $\omega_2$ can be expressed in the form $a - b\sqrt{c} -d\sqrt{e - \sqrt{f}} + g \sqrt{h - j \sqrt{k}}$ such that $a, b, \dots, k$ are positive integers and the numbers $e, f, k, \gcd(h, j)$ are squarefree. What is $a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+j+k$.

The diagram below shows a regular hexagon with an inscribed square where two sides of the square are parallel to two sides of the hexagon. There are positive integers $m$, $n$, and $p$ such that the ratio of the area of the hexagon to the area of the square can be written as $\tfrac{m+\sqrt{n}}{p}$ where $m$ and $p$ are relatively prime. Find $m + n + p$.
