Problem

Let be the incircle of . The circle intersects sides , and at points , and , respectively. Line intersects lines , and at points , and , respectively. Prove that . (posed by Zhang Pengcheng)

problem
Solution
It is easy to see that points , , and are concyclic and So , thus points , , and are concyclic. Hence, five points , , , , are concyclic and , that is . Similarly, points , , , and are concyclic and . Let lines and intersect at point . We see point is the Fig. 2. 1 orthocenter of and , so points , and are collinear. Since points , , and are concyclic, we see that . Similarly, . So bisects , thus Since points , , and are concyclic, and points , , and are concyclic, we see that Therefore, By ① and ②, we see that , that is .
