AIME 1994 Problem 15

  • Paper
  • Answer

Given a point PP^{}_{} on a triangular piece of paper ABC, ABC,\, consider the creases that are formed in the paper when A,B, A, B,\, and C C\, are folded onto P. P.\, Let us call PP_{}^{} a fold point of △ABC \triangle ABC\, if these creases, which number three unless PP^{}_{} is one of the vertices, do not intersect. Suppose that AB=36,AC=72, AB=36, AC=72,\, and ∠B=90∘. \angle B=90^\circ.\, Then the area of the set of all fold points of △ABC \triangle ABC\, can be written in the form qπ−rs, q\pi-r\sqrt{s},\, where q,r, q, r,\, and s s\, are positive integers and s s\, is not divisible by the square of any prime. What is q+r+s q+r+s\,?
