A=(−1∣−1), B=(1∣−1), C=(1∣1), D=(−1∣1)  E=(0∣1); F=(−1∣0)  BE: y=−2x+1; CF: y=(x/2)+(1/2) ⇒ P=((1/5)∣(3/5))  ⇒ ∣AP∣=∣((6/5)∣(8/5))∣=2

A=(11),B=(11),C=(11),D=(11)E=(01);F=(10)BE:y=2x+1;CF:y=x2+12P=(1535)AP∣=∣(6585)∣=2

we can easily prove that BE⊥CF.  ⇒ABPF is cyclic.  ∠APB=∠AFB=∠BEC=∠ABP  ⇒ΔABP is isosceles.  ⇒AP=AB=2 ✓
