Construct a straight line passing through a given point and tangent to a given circle.

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 a triangle, the lengths of two of the sides are 3.14 and 0.67. Find the length of the third side if it is known that it is an integer.

The opposite sides of a convex hexagon are pairwise equal and parallel. Prove that it has a centre of symmetry.

The symmetry axis of the polygon intersects its sides at points \(A\) and \(B\). Prove that the point \(A\) is either the vertex of the polygon or the middle of the side perpendicular to the axis of symmetry.

A ream of squared paper is shaded in two colours. Prove that there are two horizontal and two vertical lines, the points of intersection of which are shaded in the same colour.

There are 5 points inside an equilateral triangle with side of length 1. Prove that the distance between some two of them is less than 0.5.
