Title: Geometry Problem – Equal Angles and Concurrency
Post Content:
Hi everyone,
I need help solving this geometry problem:
Given a triangle ABC, let (C_1) be the excircle touching BC, CA, AB at X, P, Q respectively. Similarly, let (C_2) be the excircle touching CA, AB, BC at Y, M, N respectively.
1. Prove that \angle YMN = \angle XQP.
2. Let S be the intersection of MN and PQ. Prove that MY, PX, and SC are concurrent.
Any hints or full solutions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
