In triangle ABC, point D is the midpoint of BC. Let the second intersection of AD and (ABC) be E. Then, F is the intersection of EC and AB. G is the intersection of BE and AC. Prove that BC is parallel to FG.

Dear Mathlinkers,

1. ABC a triangle
2. 0 the circumcircle
3. I the incenter
4. 1 a circle passing througn B and C
5. X, Y the second points of intersection of 1 wrt BI, CI
6. 2 the circumcircle of the triangle XYI
7. M, N the symetrics of B, C wrt XY.

Question : if 2 is tangent to 0 then, 2 is tangent to MN.

Sincerely
Jean-Louis

Let $ABCD$ be a cyclic quadrilateral, which is $AB=7$ and $BC=6$. Let $E$ be a point on segment $CD$ so that $BE=9$. Line $BE$ and $AD$ intersect at $F$. Suppose that $A$, $D$, and $F$ lie in order. If $AF=11$ and $DF:DE=7:6$, find the length of segment $CD$.

As $ABCD$ is cyclic $\angle EDF = \angle ABC$, both supplementary to the same angle $\angle CDA$. Hence $ABC \sim EDF$ and $\angle AFB = \angle DFE= \angle EBC=\angle FBC$, so $AD \parallel AF \parallel BC$. Since every cyclic trapezoid is isosceles, it follows that $\boxed{\overline{CD}=7}$.

Unfortunately, it is not ∠DFE=∠EBC...
