Problem

Let be the circumcircle of where , and let be the midpoint of side . Tangent lines drawn at points and of circle intersect at point . The circumcircle of triangle intersects line again at point . Let be the midpoint of . Prove that is tangent to the circle . (Gerelkhuu Erdenetugs)
Solution
Since BTC is isosceles, TM is altitude. Thus, S is the circumcenter of triangle AMT, making SA = ST and . Considering AT as the A-symmedian of , we know . Since , it follows that .
