Solution
Denote the point diametrically opposite to a point through
is the internal angle bisector of
.
Denote the crosspoint of and
through
To finishing the solution we need only to prove that
Denote
is incenter of
Denote is the orthocenter of
Denote and
are concyclic.
points and
are collinear
is symmetric to
with respect
We use the lemma and complete the proof.
Lemma 1
Let acute triangle be given.
Let be the orthocenter of
be the height.
Let be the circle
is the diameter of
The point is symmetric to
with respect to
The line meets
again at
.
Prove that
Proof
Let be the circle centered at
with radius
The meets
again at
Let meets
again at
.
We use Reim’s theorem for and lines
and
and get
(this idea was recommended by Leonid Shatunov).
The point is symmetric to
with respect to
