Square ABCDABCD has sides of length 44 . Points PP and QQ lie on AD\overline{AD} and CD\overline{CD} , respectively, with AP=85AP=\frac{8}{5} and DQ=103DQ=\frac{10}{3} . A path begins along the segment from PP to QQ and continues by reflecting against the sides of ABCDABCD (with congruent incoming and outgoing angles). If the path hits a vertex of the square, it terminates there; otherwise it continues forever. At which vertex does the path terminate? figure
