Problem
In the triangle we denote by and the circumcenter and the incenter, respectively. The perpendicular bisectors of the line segments , and pairwise intersect, thus defining the triangle . Prove that

Solution
Let be the intersection point of the perpendicular bisectors of the line segments and . Let the angle bisector intersect the circumcircle of at . Since and , it follows that , hence . Thus, belongs to the circumcircle of and the same goes for and .
Observe that is the orthocenter of and since is its circumcenter, Sylvester's relation yields , as desired.
