Quadrilaterals in quadrilaterals

Geometry Level 5

Let f f be a function from the quadrilaterals to the quadrilaterals such that for a quadrilateral A B C D ABCD such that f ( A B C D ) = E F G H , E , F , G , H f (ABCD)=EFGH, E, F, G, H are the circumcenters of triangles A B C , B C D , C D A , D A B ABC, BCD, CDA, DAB respectively.

Consider the sequence of quadrilaterals as follows:

X 1 X_{1} is a convex quadrilateral.

X n + 1 = f ( X n ) X_{n+1}=f (X_{n}) for all positive integers n n .

If X 100 X_{100} is made up of vertices A i , i = 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 A_{i}, i=1, 2, 3, 4 , find the minimum integer R R such that

i = 1 4 i sin A i 1 A i A i + 1 \sum_{i=1}^4 i \sin A_{i-1}A_{i}A_{i+1} is always strictly less than R R over all X 1 X_{1} such that X 100 X_{100} has nonzero area. A i = A i 4 A_{i}=A_{i-4} for all integers i i .
