Three distinct points ,, and are fixed on a line in this order. Let be a circle passing through and whose center does not lie on the line . Denote by the intersection of the tangents to at and . Suppose meets the segment at . Prove that the intersection of the bisector of and the line does not depend on the choice of .
Let be a triangle with circumcentre . The points and are interior points of the sides and respectively. Let and be the midpoints of the segments and . respectively, and let be the circle passing through and . Suppose that the line is tangent to the circle . Prove that
