Problem
Let the incircle of the triangle touch the side at point ; the incircles of the triangles and touch , and , at points , and , , respectively. Prove that is a cyclic quadrilateral.
Solution
(Solution by A. Gaponenko, D. Voynov.) First, note that incircles of the triangles and touch at the same point (well-known fact). Hence . Also , . Now we have It follows that which finishes the proof.
