Problem Statement

The side of the square ABCDABCD has a length equal to 11. On the sides (BC)(BC) ¸and (CD)(CD) take respectively the arbitrary points MM and NN so that the perimeter of the triangle MCNMCN is equal to 22. a) Determine the measure of the angle MAN\angle MAN. b) If the point PP is the foot of the perpendicular taken from point AA to the line MNMN, determine the locus of the points PP.
