Problem
Find the angles of a convex quadrilateral such that , , and .
Solution
We have , . Consider the circumcircle of . Since , point is interior to .
Extend beyond to meet at . By inscribed angles , .
Given that , we obtain that and are bisectors of and respectively.
Hence is the incenter of triangle , implying that is the bisector of .
From the cyclic quadrilateral we have
