Problem

is an isosceles triangle with . Point is an arbitrary point on side . Points are on the sides , respectively, such that . A line parallel to and passing through cuts at . Prove that bisects .
Solution
Let us denote by the intersection point of lines , . Note that . Using the fact that , we get Therefore, and are corresponding points in triangles and . Which gives us and . So, lies on the perpendicular bisector of and since , also lies on the angle bisector of .
