Peter made a paper rectangle, put it on an identical rectangle and pasted both rectangles along their perimeters. Then he cut the upper rectangle along one of its diagonals and along the perpendiculars to this diagonal from two remaining vertices. After this he turned back the obtained triangles in such a way that they, along with the lower rectangle form a new rectangle. Let this new rectangle be given. Restore the original rectangle using compass and ruler.

In triangle ABC,B=2CABC, \angle B = 2\angle C. Points PP and QQ on the medial perpendicular to CBCB are such that CAP=PAQ=QAB=A3\angle CAP = \angle PAQ = \angle QAB = \frac{\angle A}{3} . Prove that QQ is the circumcenter of triangle CPBCPB.

Quadrilateral ABCDABCD is circumscribed. Its incircle touches sides AB,BC,CD,DAAB, BC, CD, DA in points K,L,M,NK, L, M, N respectively. Points A,B,C,DA', B', C', D' are the midpoints of segments LM,MN,NK,KLLM, MN, NK, KL. Prove that the quadrilateral formed by lines AA,BB,CC,DDAA', BB', CC', DD' is cyclic.
