Croatia geometry

Problem

Let be the incentre of the acute triangle and let . The angle bisector and the altitude from vertex close an angle of . If , determine the angles of the triangle . (Ilko Brnetić)

problem
Solution
1.5. It suffices to show that . Since the quadrilateral is cyclic, we have , so it suffices to show that is a cyclic quadrilateral. From triangle we have , i.e. --- ## Croatia2016_booklet — Page 14 FINAL ROUND – NATIONAL COMPETITION so by using that (which holds because is also cyclic) we get that Quadrilateral ADBF is cyclic, so we have . It follows that Therefore, ABGH is a cyclic quadrilateral, which finishes the proof.
Final answer
∠A = 50°, ∠B = 70°, ∠C = 60°
