Let $ABC$ a triangle be given with $BC = a$, $CA = b$, $AB = c$ ($a \neq b \neq c \neq a$). In plane ($ABC$) take the points $A'$, $B'$, $C'$ such that:
[b]I.[/b] The pairs of points $A$ and $A'$, $B$ and $B'$, $C$ and $C'$ either all lie in one side either all lie in different sides under the lines $BC$, $CA$, $AB$ respectively;
[b]II.[/b] Triangles $A'BC$, $B'CA$, $C'AB$ are similar isosceles triangles.
Find the value of angle $A'BC$ as function of $a, b, c$ such that lengths $AA', BB', CC'$ are not sides of an triangle. (The word "triangle" must be understood in its ordinary meaning: its vertices are not collinear.)

A paper equilateral triangle $ABC$ has side length $12$. The paper triangle is folded so that vertex $A$ touches a point on side $\overline{BC}$ a distance $9$ from point $B$. The length of the line segment along which the triangle is folded can be written as $\frac{m\sqrt{p}}{n}$, where $m$, $n$, and $p$ are positive integers, $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime, and $p$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $m+n+p$.

Given distinct straight lines $ OA$ and $ OB$. From a point in $ OA$ a perpendicular is drawn to $ OB$; from the foot of this perpendicular a line is drawn perpendicular to $ OA$. From the foot of this second perpendicular a line is drawn perpendicular to $ OB$; and so on indefinitely. The lengths of the first and second perpendiculars are $ a$ and $ b$, respectively. Then the sum of the lengths of the perpendiculars approaches a limit as the number of perpendiculars grows beyond all bounds. This limit is:
$ \textbf{(A)}\ \frac {b}{a \minus{} b} \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ \frac {a}{a \minus{} b} \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ \frac {ab}{a \minus{} b} \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ \frac {b^2}{a \minus{} b} \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ \frac {a^2}{a \minus{} b}$
