B V Karthikeya1. ABC is a right-angled triangle with ABC = 90°.
A circle C1 is drawn with AB as diameter, and
another circle C2 is drawn with BC as diameter. The circles C1 and C2 meet at the points B and P. If
2400
AB = 5 cm, BC = 12 cm and BP = x cm, find the value of .

Suppose ABC = x. Find the value of x.
3. The sides of a regular hexagon are trisected, resulting in 18 points, including vertices. These points,
starting with a vertex, are numbered clockwise as A1, A2,..., A18. The line segment AkAk+4 is drawn
for k = 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, where indices are taken modulo 18. These segments define a region
containing the center of the hexagon. Find the ratio of the area of this region to the area of the large
hexagon.
4. A cube with side length 2 is inscribed in a sphere. A second cube, with faces parallel to the first, is
inscribed between the sphere and one face of the first cube. What is the length of a side of tin-
smaller cube?
5. Triangle ABC has AB = 1, BC = 7 , and CA = 3 . Let ℓ1 be the line through A perpendicular to
AB, ℓ2 the line through B perpendicular to AC. and P the point of intersection of ℓ1 and ℓ2. Find PC.
