    1. The probability that a randomly selected point P inside a divided rectangle R will have a slope-1/2 line through P intersecting both unit squares is being calculated. 2. The area of triangle formed by the centroids of triangle HBC is being determined, where triangle ABC has known side lengths and orthocenter H. 3. The distance EK is being computed, where E and F are points of intersection of the circumcircle of triangle ABC with lines AD and BD, and lines AF and CD intersect at point K for a given quadrilateral ABCD.

    1. Let R be the rectangle in the Cartesian plane with vertices at (0, 0), (2, 0), (2, 1), and (0, 1). R can be
    divided into two unit squares, as shown.

    Pro selects a point P uniformly at random in the interior of R. Find the probability that the line
    through P with slope 21 will pass through both unit squares.
    2. Let ABC be a triangle with orthocenter H; suppose that AB = 13, BC = 14, CA = 15. Let GA be
    the centroid of triangle HBC, and define GB , GC similarly. Determine the area of triangle GA GB GC .
    3. Let ABCD be a quadrilateral with ∠BAD = ∠ABC = 90◦ , and suppose AB = BC = 1, AD = 2.
    The circumcircle of ABC meets AD and BD at points E and F , respectively. If lines AF and CD
    meet at K, compute EK.
    4. Let ABCD be a cyclic quadrilateral with AB = 3, BC = 2, CD = 2, DA = 4. Let lines perpendicular
    to BC from B and C meet AD at B ′ and C ′ , respectively. Let lines perpendicular to AD from A and
    [BCC ′ B ′ ]
    D meet BC at A′ and D′ , respectively. Compute the ratio [DAA ′ D ′ ] , where [̟] denotes the area of

    figure ̟.
    5. Let I be the set of points (x, y) in the Cartesian plane such that
     4 1/4
    y
    x> + 2015
    9
    Let f (r) denote the area of the intersection of I and the disk x2 + y 2 ≤ r2 of radius r > 0 centered at
    the origin (0, 0). Determine the minimum possible real number L such that f (r) < Lr2 for all r > 0.

    6. In triangle ABC, AB = 2, AC √ = 1 + 5, and ∠CAB = 54 . Suppose D lies on the extension of AC
    through C such that CD = 5 − 1. If M is the midpoint of BD, determine the measure of ∠ACM ,
    in degrees.
    7. Let ABCDE be a square pyramid of height 21 with square base ABCD of side length AB = 12 (so
    E is the vertex of the pyramid, and the foot of the altitude from E to ABCD is the center of square
    ABCD). The faces ADE and CDE meet at an acute angle of measure α (so that 0◦ < α < 90◦ ).
    Find tan α.
    8. Let S be the set of discs D contained completely in the set {(x, y) : y < 0} (the region below the
    x-axis) and centered (at some point) on the curve y = x2 − 34 . What is the area of the union of the
    elements of S?
    9. Let ABCD be a regular tetrahedron with side length 1. Let X be the point in triangle BCD such
    that [XBC] = 2[XBD] = 4[XCD], where [̟] denotes the area of figure ̟. Let Y lie on segment AX
    such that 2AY = Y X. Let M be the midpoint of BD. Let Z be a point on segment AM such that
    AZ
    the lines Y Z and BC intersect at some point. Find ZM .
    10. Let G be the set of all points (x, y) in the Cartesian plane such that 0 ≤ y ≤ 8 and
    p
    (x − 3)2 + 31 = (y − 4)2 + 8 y(8 − y).
    There exists a unique line ℓ of negative slope tangent to G and passing through the point (0, 4).
    Suppose ℓ is tangent to G at a unique point P . Find the coordinates (α, β) of P .
