Problem
Let be a cyclic quadrilateral such that and let be the intersection of its diagonals. Let be the second intersection of the diagonal with the circle passing through , and the incentre of the triangle . Prove that .

Solution
We denote in the isosceles triangle . Then . Let be the incentre of the triangle . We have Since the quadrilateral is cyclic we can prove that (independently of the position of the point ) so the triangle is isosceles and .
Note that the triangles and are similar because and (suspended angles over the chord ). Hence i.e. .
