Canada Math Contest #2 - Problem 9


Full credit goes to the staff team at Canada Math for authoring these problems.

Jonas has a square canvas ABCDABCD of side length 1. He draws two points EE and FF independently and at random such that AE=BF=1AE = BF = 1. If the probability that segments AEAE and BFBF intersect is pq\frac{p}{q}, where pp and qq are relatively prime positive integers, find p+qp+q.
