Pentagon with given diameter, ratio desired

by bin_sherlo, May 11, 2025, 7:21 PM

$ABCDE$ is a pentagon whose vertices lie on circle $\omega$ where $\angle DAB=90^{\circ}$. Let $EB$ and $AC$ intersect at $F$, $EC$ meet $BD$ at $G$. $M$ is the midpoint of arc $AB$ on $\omega$, not containing $C$. If $FG\parallel DE\parallel CM$ holds, then what is the value of $\frac{|GE|}{|GD|}$?

Points on the sides of cyclic quadrilateral satisfy the angle conditions

by AlperenINAN, May 11, 2025, 7:15 PM

Let $ABCD$ be a cyclic quadrilateral and let the intersection point of lines $AB$ and $CD$ be $E$. Let the points $K$ and $L$ be arbitrary points on sides $CD$ and $AB$ respectively, which satisfy the conditions
$$\angle KAD = \angle KBC \quad \text{and} \quad \angle LDA = \angle LCB.$$Prove that $EK = EL$.

Consider a ball that moves inside an acute-angled triangle along a straight line, unit it hits the boundary, which is when it changes direction according to the mirror law, just like a ray of light (angle of incidence = angle of reflection). Prove that there exists a triangular periodic path for the ball, as pictured below.

If the interior angles of a triangle $ABC$ satisfy the equality, $$\sin ^2 A + \sin ^2 B + \sin^2  C = 2 \left( \cos ^2 A + \cos ^2 B + \cos ^2 C \right),$$prove that the triangle must have a right angle.

Help me solve this problem please. Thank you so much!

Give two fixed points B and C, and point A moving on the circle (O). Let D be a point on (O) such that AD is perpendicular to BC. Let O' be the point symmetric to O with respect to BC, M be the midpoint of BC, and N ( dinstinct from D) be the intersection of MD with the circumcircle of triangle AOD. Suppose DO' intersects the circle (O) again at S.
a) Prove that the circle (OMN) is tangent to the circle (DNS)
b) Let d be the line tangent to (DNS) at N. Prove that d always passes through a fixed point when A moves along the arc BC of (O)

An interesting geometry

Let $ABC$ be an acute-angled triangle with $AC<BC.$ A circle passes through $A$ and $B$ and crosses the segments $AC$ and $BC$ again at $A_1$ and $B_1$ respectively. The circumcircles of $A_1B_1C$ and $ABC$ meet each other at points $P$ and $C.$ The segments $AB_1$ and $A_1B$ intersect at $S.$ Let $Q$ and $R$ be the reflections of $S$ in the lines $CA$ and $CB$ respectively. Prove that the points $P,$ $Q,$ $R,$ and $C$ are concyclic.

line JK of intersection points of 2 lines passes through the midpoint of BC

by parmenides51, Dec 11, 2018, 8:17 PM

Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle with $AC> AB$. be $\Gamma$ the circumcircle circumscribed to the triangle $ABC$ and $D$ the midpoint of the smallest arc $BC$ of this circle. Let $E$ and $F$ points of the segments $AB$ and $AC$ respectively such that $AE = AF$. Let $P \neq A$ be the second intersection point of the circumcircle circumscribed to $AEF$ with $\Gamma$. Let $G$ and $H$ be the intersections of lines $PE$ and $PF$ with $\Gamma$ other than $P$, respectively. Let $J$ and $K$ be the intersection points of lines $DG$ and $DH$ with lines $AB$ and $AC$ respectively. Show that the $JK$ line passes through the midpoint of $BC$

Show that the triangle whose angles satisfy the equality
\[\frac{\sin^2A+\sin^2B+\sin^2C}{\cos^2A+\cos^2B+\cos^2C} = 2\]
is right angled.

Two lines meeting on circumcircle

by Zhero, Jul 5, 2012, 1:49 AM

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with circumcircle $\omega$, incenter $I$, and $A$-excenter $I_A$. Let the incircle and the $A$-excircle hit $BC$ at $D$ and $E$, respectively, and let $M$ be the midpoint of arc $BC$ without $A$. Consider the circle tangent to $BC$ at $D$ and arc $BAC$ at $T$. If $TI$ intersects $\omega$ again at $S$, prove that $SI_A$ and $ME$ meet on $\omega$.
