Problem
On a plane are placed two triangles and such that segment is divided into three equal parts by the intersection point of the medians of triangle and the intersection point of the bisectors of triangle ( is a median of , is a bisector of ), and quadrilateral is a trapezium. Find all angles of triangle .

Solution
Let be the center of , contextual from the characteristic of the centroid of the triangle and from the condition of the task: , . Let , then from the characteristic of the bisector and . Then is a trapezium. That's why (see Fig. 20). From Thales' theorem . Therefore, in , is a bisector by condition and a median because . Then is an equilateral triangle, and so if , therefore it is an equilateral triangle and all its angles are .
Final answer
All angles of triangle BKL are 60°
