BALTIC-WAY 1997 Problem 11

  • Answer

On two parallel lines, the distinct points A1,A2,A3,…A_{1}, A_{2}, A_{3}, \ldots respectively B1B_{1}, B2,B3,…B_{2}, B_{3}, \ldots are marked in such a way that ∣AiAi+1∣=1\left|A_{i} A_{i+1}\right|=1 and ∣BiBi+1∣=2\left|B_{i} B_{i+1}\right|=2 for i=1,2,…i=1,2, \ldots (see Figure). Provided that ∠A1A2B1=α\angle A_{1} A_{2} B_{1}=\alpha, find the infinite sum ∠A1B1A2+∠A2B2A3+∠A3B3A4+…\angle A_{1} B_{1} A_{2}+\angle A_{2} B_{2} A_{3}+\angle A_{3} B_{3} A_{4}+\ldots
