Problem
A triangle is given together with a segment of length on the segment , so that is between and and is between and . We draw parallel lines from the point to and which intersect and in and , respectively. We draw parallel lines from the point to and which intersect and in and , respectively. Prove that the sum of the areas of and doesn't depend on the position of on .
Solution
Solution. Let be the intersection of and . Let us note that and . So now we have:
