Problem
Point 
is selected inside acute triangle 
so that 
and 
. Point 
is chosen on ray 
so that 
. Let 
be the midpoint of 
. Show that line 
is tangent to the circumcircle of triangle 
.
Solution 1
Let 
and 
.
Extend AD intersects BC at point T, then TC = TA, TE is perpendicular to AC
Thus, AB is the tangent of the circle BEM
Then the question is equivalent as the 
is the auxillary angle of 
.
