Problem

Given a cyclic quadrilateral . There is a point on side such that . The medians of vertices and in triangles and meet at and the angle bisectors of and meet at . Prove that .

problem
Solution
1. Extend and until they meet and at and , respectively. Since , is a cyclic quadrilateral. Further, and are both cyclic since Hence, is cyclic and is the midpoint of the small arc . Moreover, is antiparallel to which is parallel to . Thus, is parallel to . It follows that is the midpoint of . However, .
