Problem
Point was chosen inside the triangle so that and . On side , there exists point such that . Prove .

Solution
We extend the ray further after to find the point such that (Fig. 1). Then, due to two equal length sides and the same angle between them. Hence, . Analogously, Therefore, in the isosceles triangle segment is a median, which also makes it the altitude. From which follows that , Q.E.D.
