Three segments whose lengths are equal to \(a, b\) and \(c\) are given. Construct a segment of length: a) \(ab/c\); b) \(\sqrt {ab}\).

In the triangle \(ABC\) the sides are compared as following: \(AC>BC>AB\). Prove that the angles are compared as follows: \(\angle B > \angle A > \angle C\).

Consider a quadrilateral \(ABCD\). Choose a point \(E\) on side \(AB\). A line parallel to the diagonal \(AC\) is drawn through \(E\) and meets \(BC\) at \(F\). Then a line parallel to the other diagonal \(BD\) is drawn through \(F\) and meets \(CD\) at \(G\). And then a line parallel to the first diagonal \(AC\) is drawn through \(G\) and meets \(DA\) at \(H\). Prove the \(EH\) is parallel to the diagonal \(BD\).

Cut an arbitrary triangle into parts that can be used to build a triangle that is symmetrical to the original triangle with respect to some straight line (the pieces cannot be inverted, they can only be rotated on the plane).
