Problem

Let be a triangle with circumcenter such that and . Let be the point of intersection of the lines and . Prove that .

problem
Solution


In the isosceles triangle , we have and therefore The inscribed angle theorem implies and therefore We can finally compute the two angles of interest: Therefore, the triangle is isosceles with apex and we have as desired.

Techniques

Triangle centers: centroid, incenter, circumcenter, orthocenter, Euler line, nine-point circleAngle chasing
