The following problem is from both the 2024 USAMO/5 and 2024 USAJMO/6, so both problems redirect to this page.

Problem

Point $D$ is selected inside acute triangle $ABC$ so that $\angle DAC=\angle ACB$ and $\angle BDC=90^\circ+\angle BAC$. Point $E$ is chosen on ray $BD$ so that $AE=EC$. Let $M$ be the midpoint of $BC$. Show that line $AB$ is tangent to the circumcircle of triangle $BEM$.

Solution 1

define angle DBT as $/alpha$, the angle BEM as $/betta$. 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 angle ABT is the auxillary angle of the angle BEM

continue
