Problem

Let be a scalene triangle. Point lies on so that bisects The line through perpendicular to intersects the line through parallel to at point Suppose and What is
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
Solution
Suppose that intersects and at and respectively. By Angle-Side-Angle, we conclude that Let By the Angle Bisector Theorem, we have or By alternate interior angles, we get and Note that by the Angle-Angle Similarity, with the ratio of similitude It follows that
Final answer
C
