Team selection test for the 54th IMO

Bulgaria geometry

Problem

The incircle of touches the sides and at points and , respectively. The lines and are concurrent at such that lies between and . If and find the angles of .
Solution
Let be such that . Thus and since we have that . Therefore which implies that quadrilateral is cyclic. It follows from that . Moreover , i.e. is simultaneously altitude and angular bisector. Hence and , i.e. . The angles of are and .
Final answer
A = 108°, B = 36°, C = 36°
