Problem
Let be an acute angled triangle with . Let be the midpoint of the side and , altitudes of the triangle . The line meets the line at point .
a. Find the angles of the triangle with respect to the angle of .
b. Find the angle with respect to the angles and of .

a. Find the angles of the triangle with respect to the angle of .
b. Find the angle with respect to the angles and of .
Solution
a. The triangle is right angled at and is median. Hence . From the isosceles triangle it follows that: Similarly we get and from the isosceles triangle we get:
By summing (1) and (2) we find that is. Moreover, since isosceles (), we have: figure 1
b. From the triangle we have: . (3) and (4). Moreover, from the cyclic quadrilateral () we have: (5) Therefore:
