Find the real number such that
Problem U2
Points and lie on a circle centered at such that is right. Points and lie on radii and respectively such that , , and . Determine the area of quadrilateral .
Problem U3
When properly sorted, math books on a shelf are arranged in alphabetical order from left to right. An eager student checked out and read all of them. Unfortunately, the student did not realize how the books were sorted, and so after finishing the student put the books back on the shelf in a random order. If all arrangements are equally likely, the probability that exactly of the books were returned to their correct (original) position can be expressed as , where and are relatively prime positive integers. Compute .
