The mapping $f$ assigns a circle to every triangle in the plane so that the following conditions hold. (We consider all nondegenerate triangles and circles of nonzero radius.) [b](a)[/b] Let $\sigma$ be any similarity in the plane and let $\sigma$ map triangle $\Delta_1$ onto triangle $\Delta_2$. Then $\sigma$ also maps circle $f(\Delta_1)$ onto circle $f(\Delta_2)$. [b](b)[/b] Let $A,B,C$ and $D$ be any four points in general position. Then circles $f(ABC),f(BCD),f(CDA)$ and $f(DAB)$ have a common point. Prove that for any triangle $\Delta$, the circle $f(\Delta)$ is the Euler circle of $\Delta$.

Let $ABC$ be an equilateral triangle and $n{}, n>1$ an integer. Let $S{}$ be the set of the $n-1$ lines parallel with $BC$ that cut $ABC$ in $n{}$ figures with equal areas and $S^{'}$ be the set of the $n-1$ lines parallel with $BC$ that cut $ABC$ in $n{}$ figures with equal perimeters.

In prism $JHOPKINS$, quadrilaterals $JHOP$ and $KINS$ are parallel and congruent bases that are kites, where $JH = JP = KI = KS$ and $OH = OP = NI = NS$; the longer two sides of each kite have length $\tfrac{4 + \sqrt{5}}{2}$, and the shorter two sides of each kite have length $\tfrac{5 + \sqrt{5}}{4}$. Assume that $\overline{JK}$, $\overline{HI}$, $\overline{ON}$, and $\overline{PS}$ are congruent edges of $JHOPKINS$ perpendicular to the planes containing $JHOP$ and $KINS$.

Compute the height of $JHOPKINS$ (that is, the distance between the bases).
