Problem
Let and be the altitudes of acute-angled triangle , and is the midpoint of . Lines and meet the line passing through and parallel to in points and . Prove that the incenter of triangle lies on the altitude of triangle .

Solution
Since triangles and are right-angled, their medians , are equal to the half of hypotenuse .
Now thus . Similarly, . Then the incircle of triangle touches its sides in points , which yields the assertion of the problem.
