Let $ABC$ be a triangle with circumcircle $\Omega$ and incentre $I$. A line $\ell$ intersects the lines $AI$, $BI$, and $CI$ at points $D$, $E$, and $F$, respectively, distinct from the points $A$, $B$, $C$, and $I$. The perpendicular bisectors $x$, $y$, and $z$ of the segments $AD$, $BE$, and $CF$, respectively determine a triangle $\Theta$. Show that the circumcircle of the triangle $\Theta$ is tangent to $\Omega$.

Let ${\cal C}_1$ and ${\cal C}_2$ be concentric circles, with ${\cal C}_2$ in the interior of ${\cal C}_1$. From a point $A$ on ${\cal C}_1$ one draws the tangent $AB$ to ${\cal C}_2$ ($B\in {\cal C}_2$). Let $C$ be the second point of intersection of $AB$ and ${\cal C}_1$, and let $D$ be the midpoint of $AB$. A line passing through $A$ intersects ${\cal C}_2$ at $E$ and $F$ in such a way that the perpendicular bisectors of $DE$ and $CF$ intersect at a point $M$ on $AB$. Find, with proof, the ratio $AM/MC$.

Dear Mathlinkers,

1. ABC a triangle
2. D, E two point on the segment BC so that BD = DE= EC
3. M, N the midpoint of ED, AE
4. H the orthocenter of the acutangle triangle ADE
5. 1, 2 the circumcircle of the triangle DHM, EHN
6. P, Q the second point of intersection of 1 and BM, 2 and CN
7. U, V the second points of intersection of 2 and MN, PQ.

Prove : UV is parallel to PM.

Well, from the EGMO problem, we know that $(PMQN)$ is cyclic, and we also have $(QNUV)$ cyclic, so $UV \parallel PM$.

Yes of course...
My idea was to prove that (PMQN) is cyclic without using this result. If we prove that UV //PM , Egmo is directly solved...

What do you think of the parallel approach... It must be a synthical proof...

Thank very much for your interest....

Very sincerely

Dear,

If we add to the hypothesis

8. X, Y the second points of intersection of 1 and MN, PQ.

then U, V, X, Y are concyclic (to prove)

and we can finish with the Reim's theorem as it was your first idea...

Sincerely
