Let ALA L and BKB K be angle bisectors in the non-isosceles triangle ABCA B C ( LL lies on the side BC,KB C, K lies on the side ACA C ). The perpendicular bisector of BKB K intersects the line ALA L at point MM. Point NN lies on the line BKB K such that LNL N is parallel to MKM K. Prove that LN=NAL N=N A.

  • Answer

A 9×79 \times 7 rectangle is tiled with tiles of the two types shown in the picture below (the tiles are composed by three, respectively four unit squares and the L-shaped tiles can be rotated repeatedly with 90∘90^{\circ} ).

Let n⩾0n \geqslant 0 be the number of the 2×22 \times 2 tiles which can be used in such a tiling. Find all the values of nn.
