Problem
Let be the bisector of the angle of a triangle . Find the angles of the triangle if , .

Solution
We mark the point on the extension of over so that . Let be the point of intersection of the medians of . Since , point of the lines and . Then is the point of intersection of the medians of . Therefore, is also the median of . Since , the medians and are equal. Hence the triangle is isosceles and . Since is the bisector of the triangle of , we have , so . Therefore, the triangle is equilateral and . Since and , we see that is a right-angled triangle, hence , .
Final answer
∠A = 90°, ∠B = 60°, ∠C = 30°
