Problem

Let be a triangle with . The incircle of is tangent to the side at point . Let the intersection of lines and be , where and are the centers of incircles of and , respectively. intersects the circumscribed circle of at and and the midpoint of segment is . Let be the point of intersection of the line with the circumscribed circle of different from . Prove that . (Cafer Tayyar Yıldırım).
Solution
Let the incircle of be tangent to at and the incircle of be tangent to at . The radii of incircles of and are and , respectively. Then Since and are centers of incircles, . Therefore, and since we have Thus, Obviously, and . Since , , and . Let be the center of circumscribed circle of (the midpoint of the segment ). Then . Since is a radius . Thus, and are parallel. Suppose . Then and . In the rectangle , . Therefore, . Done.
