, and
such that the bisectors of acute angles
and
intersect at the midpoint of
. Find the square of the area of
.
Vishal is gay
Solution 2
Denote by the midpoint of segment
.
Let points
and
be on segment
, such that
and
.
Denote ,
,

.
Denote . Because
is the midpoint of
,
.
Because is the angle bisector of
and
,
.
Hence,
and
.
Hence,
.
Because is the angle bisector of
and
,
.
Hence,
and
.
Hence,
.
Because is the midpoint of segment

In addition,
.
Thus,
Taking , we get
.
Taking
, we get
.
Therefore, .
Hence, and
.
Thus,
and
.
In , by applying the law of cosines,
.
Hence,
.
Hence,
.
Therefore,
Therefore, the square of is

Claim
In the triangle is the midpoint of
is the point of intersection of the circumcircle and the bisector of angle
Then
Proof
Let Then
Let be the intersection point of the perpendicular dropped from
to
with the circle.
Then the sum of arcs
Let be the point of intersection of the line
with the circle.
is perpendicular to
the sum of arcs
coincides with
The inscribed angles is symmetric to
with respect to
Solution
Let and
on
Then
Quadrilateral is cyclic.
Let
Then
Circle centered at
is its diameter,
since they both complete
to
since they are the exterior angles of an isosceles
by two angles.
The height dropped from to
is
The areas of triangles and
are equal to
area of
is
The area of
is
