Problem
Given a point on a triangular piece of paper
consider the creases that are formed in the paper when
and
are folded onto
Let us call
a fold point of
if these creases, which number three unless
is one of the vertices, do not intersect. Suppose that
and
Then the area of the set of all fold points of
can be written in the form
where
and
are positive integers and
is not divisible by the square of any prime. What is
?
