Problem
Let be a cyclic quadrangle, let the diagonals and cross at , and let and be the incentres of the triangles and , respectively. The line crosses the segments and at and , respectively. Prove that the triangle is isosceles.

Solution
We show that . To this end, let the line cross the segments and at and , respectively, and consider the position of relative to the line , to write . Similarly, . Since the quadrangle is cyclic, and . The latter implies that , so the quadrangle is cyclic. Consequently, and , and the conclusion follows.
