Problem Statement

Let ABCDABCD be a rectangle and let M,NM, N and P,QP, Q be the points of intersections of some line ee with the sides AB,CDAB, CD and AD,BCAD, BC, respectively (or their extensions). Given the points M,N,P,QM, N, P, Q and the length pp of side ABAB, construct the rectangle. Under what conditions can this problem be solved, and how many solutions does it have?
