In a certain circle, the chord of a $d$-degree arc is 22 centimeters long, and the chord of a $2d$-degree arc is 20 centimeters longer than the chord of a $3d$-degree arc, where $d<120.$ The length of the chord of a $3d$-degree arc is $-m+\sqrt{n}$ centimeters, where $m$ and $n$ are positive integers. Find $m+n.$

Triangle $AB_0C_0$ has side lengths $AB_0 = 12$, $B_0C_0 = 17$, and $C_0A = 25$. For each positive integer $n$, points $B_n$ and $C_n$ are located on $\overline{AB_{n-1}}$ and $\overline{AC_{n-1}}$, respectively, creating three similar triangles $\triangle AB_nC_n \sim \triangle B_{n-1}C_nC_{n-1} \sim \triangle AB_{n-1}C_{n-1}$. The area of the union of all triangles $B_{n-1}C_nB_n$ for $n\geq1$ can be expressed as $\tfrac pq$, where $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $q$.

Solve the equation $\frac{1}{\sin x}+\frac{1}{\cos x}=\frac{1}{p}, $ where $p$ is a real parameter. Investigate for which values of $p$ solutions exist and how many solutions exist. (Of course, the last question ''how many solutions exist'' should be understood as ''how many solutions exists modulo $2\pi $''.)
