– Elementary

1 Ali wants to move from point A to point B. He cannot walk inside the black areas but he is free
to move in any direction inside the white areas (not only the grid lines but the whole plane).
Help Ali to find the shortest path between A and B. Only draw the path and write its length.

2 Let ω be the circumcircle of triangle ABC with AC > AB. Let X be a point on AC and Y be a
point on the circle ω, such that CX = CY = AB. (The points A and Y lie on different sides of
the line BC). The line XY intersects ω for the second time in point P . Show that P B = P C.

3 Suppose that ABCD is a convex quadrilateral with no parallel sides. Make a parallelogram
on each two consecutive sides. Show that among these 4 new points, there is only one point
inside the quadrilateral ABCD.

4 In a right-angled triangle ABC (∠A = 90o ), the perpendicular bisector of BC intersects the
line AC in K and the perpendicular bisector of BK intersects the line AB in L. If the line CL
be the internal bisector of angle C, find all possible values for angles B and C.

5 Let ABCD be a convex quadrilateral with these properties: ∠ADC = 135o and ∠ADB −
∠ABD =√2∠DAB = 4∠CBD.
If BC = 2CD , prove that AB = BC + AD.

1 In trapezoid ABCD with AB||CD, ω1 and ω2 are two circles with diameters AD and BC, re-
spectively. Let X and Y be two arbitrary points on ω1 and ω2 , respectively. Show that the length
of segment XY is not more than half the perimeter of ABCD.

2 Let two circles C1 and C2 intersect in points A and B. The tangent to C1 at A intersects C2 in
P and the line P B intersects C1 for the second time in Q (suppose that Q is outside C2 ). The
tangent to C2 from Q intersects C1 and C2 in C and D, respectively. (The points A and D lie
on different sides of the line P Q.) Show that AD is the bisector of ∠CAP .

similar quadrilaterals.

P M intersects ω for the second time in Q. The tangent to ω at point Q intersects AC at K.

5 Let the circles ω and ω 0 intersect in points A and B. The tangent to circle ω at A intersects
ω 0 at C and the tangent to circle ω 0 at A intersects ω at D. Suppose that the internal bisector
of ∠CAD intersects ω and ω 0 at E and F , respectively, and the external bisector of ∠CAD

tangent to circle ω 0 at A intersects ω in D. Suppose that CD intersectsω and ω 0 in E and F ,
respectively (assume that E is between F and C). The perpendicular to AC from E intersects
ω 0 in point P and perpendicular to AD from F intersectsω in point Q (The points A, P and Q
lie on the same side of the line CD). Prove that the points A, P and Q are collinear.

2 In acute-angled triangle ABC, altitude of A meets BC at D, and M is midpoint of AC. Suppose

that X is a point such that ]AXB = ]DXM = 90◦ (assume that X and C lie on opposite
sides of the line BM ). Show that ]XM B = 2]M BC.Proposed by Davood Vakili

3 In a convex qualrilateral ABCD, let P be the intersection point of AD and BC. Suppose that

of P AB, and H the orthocenter of P DC. Show that the circumcircles of triangles AI1 B and
DHC are tangent together if and only if the circumcircles of triangles AOB and DI2 C are

4 In a convex quadrilateral ABCD, the lines AB and CD meet at point E and the lines AD and
BC meet at point F . Let P be the intersection point of diagonals AC and BD. Suppose that ω1
