OBM 2000 Problem 1

    A rectangular piece of paper has top edge ADAD . A line LL from AA to the bottom edge makes an angle xx with the line ADAD . We want to trisect xx . We take BB and CC on the vertical ege through AA such that AB=BCAB = BC . We then fold the paper so that CC goes to a point C′C' on the line LL and AA goes to a point A′A' on the horizontal line through BB . The fold takes BB to B′B' . Show that AA′AA' and AB′AB' are the required trisectors.
