2024 tur 2 klass 8 Problem 4

A square with sidelength $1$ is cut from the paper. Construct a segment with length $\frac{1}{2024}$ using at most $13$ folds. No instruments are available, it is allowed only to fold the paper and to mark the common points of folding lines. (M.Evdokimov)

Solution

Main idea: $\frac{1}{2024} = \frac{1}{4} \cdot \left [ \frac{1}{22} - \frac{1}{23} \right ].$

Let $M$ be the midpoint of side $AB$ of an acute-angled triangle $ABC,$ and $P$ be the projection of the orthocenter $H$ to the bisector of angle $C.$ Prove that $MP$ bisects the segment $CH.$ (L.Emelyanov)

Solution

Denote $D$ - the midpoint of $CH, A',B',$ and $C'$ the foots of the heights, $\angle A = 2 \alpha, \angle B = 2 \beta, \angle C = 2 \gamma, \omega$ be the Euler circle $A'DB'C'M.$

$\Omega$ is the circle $\odot CA'B'$ with the diameter $CH.$ $HP \perp CP \implies P \in \Omega.$ $AA' \perp BA' \implies A'M = BM \implies \angle BA'M = 2 \beta.$ $\triangle ABC \sim \triangle A'BC' \implies \angle BA'C' = 2 \alpha \implies$ $\angle MA'C' = 2|\alpha - \beta| = \angle MDC'.$ $\angle ACC' = 90^\circ - 2 \alpha, \angle ACP = \gamma,$ $\angle PCC' = |\angle ACC' - \angle ACP| = |90^\circ - 2 \alpha - \gamma| = | \alpha + \beta + \gamma - 2 \alpha - \gamma| = | \alpha - \beta|.$ $PD = CD \implies \angle PDH = 2 \angle PCD = 2|\alpha - \beta|.$ $\angle PDH = \angle MDH \implies$ points $M,P,$ and $D$ are collinear.

2024, Problem 23

A point $P$ moves along a circle $\Omega.$ Let $A$ and $B$ be fixed points of $\Omega,$ and $C$ be an arbitrary point inside $\Omega.$

The common external tangents to the circumcircles of triangles $\triangle APC$ and $\triangle BCP$ meet at point $Q.$

Prove that all points $Q$ lie on two fixed lines.

Solution

Denote $A' = AC \cap \Omega, B' = BC \cap \Omega, \omega = \odot APC, \omega' = \odot BPC.$ $\theta = \odot ACB', \theta' = \odot BCA'.$

$O$ is the circumcenter of $\triangle APC, O'$ is the circumcenter of $\triangle BPC.$

Let $K$ and $L$ be the midpoints of the arcs $\overset{\Large\frown}{CB'}$ of $\theta,D = AL \cap \omega.$

Let $K'$ and $L'$ be the midpoints of the arcs $\overset{\Large\frown}{CA'}$ of $\theta', D' = BL' \cap \omega'.$

These points not depends from position of point $P.$

Suppose, $P \in \overset{\Large\frown} {B'ABA'} ($ see diagram). $\angle A'BC = 2 \alpha = \angle B'AC \implies \angle D'BC = \angle DAC = \alpha \implies \angle DOC = \angle D'O'C = 2 \alpha.$ $O'D' = O'C, OC = OD \implies \triangle OCD \sim \triangle O'D'C \implies OC||O'D'.$ Let $F= CD \cup OO' \implies \frac {FO}{FO'} = \frac {OC}{O'D'} \implies Q = F.$

$\angle LCB' = \alpha = \angle B'BL' \implies LC || L'B.$ Similarly, $AL || CL' \implies \triangle DLC \sim \triangle CL'D' \implies \frac {LC}{L'D'} = \frac {DC}{CD'} = \frac {OC}{O'D'}.$

Let $F' = LL' \cap DD' \implies \frac {F'C}{F'D'} = \frac {LC}{L'D'} = \frac {OC}{O'D'}= \frac {FC}{FD'} \implies F' = F.$

Therefore $Q \in LL'.$ Similarly, if $P \in \overset{\Large\frown} {B'A'}$ then $Q \in KK'.$

Claim

Points $D, C,$ and $D'$ are collinear.

Proof

$S$ is the midpoint of arc $\overset{\Large\frown}{A'B'} \implies \angle SAC = \angle SBC.$ Denote $\angle CAP = \alpha, \angle CBP = \beta, \angle SAC = \angle SBC = \varphi.$ $D \in \omega \implies \angle PDC = \alpha, \angle PCD = \pi - \alpha - \varphi.$ $D' \in \omega' \implies \angle PD'C = \beta, \angle PCD' = \pi - \beta - \varphi.$ $S \in \Omega \implies \angle SAP + \angle SBP = \alpha + \beta + 2 \varphi = \pi.$ Therefore $\angle PCD + \angle PCD' = \pi \implies$ points $D, C,$ and $D'$ are collinear.

One-to-one mapping of the circle

Let a circle $\Omega,$ two fixed points $A$ and $B$ on it and a point $C$ inside it be given. Then there is a one-to-one mapping of the circle $\Omega$ onto itself, based on the following two theorems.

1. Let a circle $\Omega,$ two fixed points $A$ and $B$ on $\Omega,$ and a point $C$ inside $\Omega$ be given.

Let an arbitrary point $Q \in \Omega$ be given.

Let $A' = AC \cap \Omega, A' \ne A, B' = BC \cap \Omega, B' \ne B. S$ is the midpoint of the arc $A'B', D = A'Q \cap BS, E = B'Q \cap AS.$

Denote $\omega = \odot AEC, \omega' = \odot BCD, P = \omega \cap \omega'.$ Prove that $P \in \Omega.$

2. Let a circle $\Omega,$ two fixed points $A$ and $B$ on $\Omega,$ and a point $C$ inside $\Omega$ be given.

Let an arbitrary point $P \in \Omega$ be given.

Let $A' = AC \cap \Omega, A' \ne A, B' = BC \cap \Omega, B' \ne B. S$ is the midpoint of the arc $A'B'.$

Denote $\omega = \odot ACP, \omega' = \odot BCP, D = BS \cap \omega' , E = \omega \cap AS.$

Denote $Q = A'D \cap B'E.$ Prove that $Q \in \Omega.$

Proof

$1. C = AA' \cap BB', D = A'Q \cap BS, E = B'Q \cap AS \implies$

Points $D,C,E$ are collinear. $\angle APC = \angle SEC, \angle BPC = \angle SDC.$ $\angle APC + \angle BPC + \angle ASC = \angle SEC + \angle SDC + \angle DSE = 180 ^\circ \implies P \in \Omega.$

2. Points $D, C,$ and $E$ are collinear (see Claim in 2024, Problem 23).

We use Pascal's theorem for points $A,B',S,A',B$ and crosspoints $C,D,E$ and get $Q \in \Omega.$

2024, Problem 22

A segment $AB$ is given. Let $C$ be an arbitrary point of the perpendicular bisector to $AB,$ $O$ be the point on the circumcircle of $\triangle ABC$ opposite to $C,$ and an ellipse centered at $O$ touche $AB, BC, CA.$

Find the locus of touching points $P$ of the ellipse with the line $BC.$

Solution

Denote $M$ the midpoint $AB, D$ the point on the line $CO, DO = MO, \alpha = \angle CBM, b = OM.$

$\angle CBO = 90^\circ \implies \angle COB = \alpha, MB = b \tan \alpha,$ $CB = \frac {b \sin \alpha}{\cos^2 \alpha}, CO = \frac {b} {\cos^2 \alpha}, CD = b \left (1 + \frac {1} {\cos^2 \alpha} \right ).$ In order to find the ordinate of point $P,$ we perform an affine transformation (compression along axis $AB)$ which will transform the ellipse $MPD$ into a circle with diameter $MD.$ The tangent of the $CP$ maps into the tangent of the $CE, E = \odot CBO \cap \odot MD, PF \perp CO.$ $\angle OEF = \angle ECO \implies OF = OE \sin \angle OEF = OE \sin \angle ECO = b \cos^2 \alpha.$ $CP = \frac {CF}{\sin \alpha} = \frac {b}{\sin \alpha}\left ( \frac {1} {\cos^2 \alpha} - \cos^2 \alpha \right ) = b \sin \alpha \left ( \frac {1}{\cos^2 \alpha } + 1 \right).$ $\frac {CP}{CD} = \sin \alpha , \angle PCD = 90^\circ - \alpha \implies \angle CPD = 90^\circ.$ $BP = CP - CB = b \sin \alpha.$ Denote $Q = AB \cap DP \implies BQ = \frac {BP}{\cos \alpha} = b \tan \alpha = MB.$

So point $Q$ is the fixed point ( $P$ not depends from angle $\alpha, \angle BPQ = 90^\circ ).$

Therefore point $P$ lies on the circle with diameter $BQ$ (except points $B$ and $Q.)$

2024, Problem 21

A chord $PQ$ of the circumcircle of a triangle $ABC$ meets the sides $BC, AC$ at points $A', B',$ respectively. The tangents to the circumcircle at $A$ and $B$ meet at point $X,$ and the tangents at points $P$ and $Q$ meets at point $Y.$ The line $XY$ meets $AB$ at point $C'.$

Prove that the lines $AA', BB',$ and $CC'$ concur.

Proof

WLOG, $P \in \overset{\Large\frown} {AC}.$ Denote $\Omega = \odot ABC, Z = BB' \cap AA', D = AQ \cap BP.$

Point $D$ is inside $\Omega.$

We use Pascal’s theorem for quadrilateral $APQB$ and get $D \in XY.$

We use projective transformation which maps $\Omega$ to a circle and that maps the point $D$ to its center.

From this point we use the same letters for the results of mapping. Therefore the segments $AQ$ and $BP$ are the diameters of $\Omega, C'D \in XY || AP \implies C'$ is the midpoint $AB.$

$AB|| PQ \implies AB || B'A' \implies C' \in CZ \implies$

preimage $Z$ lies on preimage $CC'.\blacksquare$

2024, Problem 20

Let a triangle $ABC,$ points $D$ and $E \in BD$ be given, $F = AD \cap CE.$ Points $D', E'$ and $F'$ are the isogonal conjugate of the points $D, E,$ and $F,$ respectively, with respect to $\triangle ABC.$

Denote $R$ and $R'$ the circumradii of triangles $\triangle DEF$ and $\triangle D'E'F',$ respectively.

Prove that $\frac {[DEF]}{R} = \frac {[D'E'F']}{R'},$ where $[DEF]$ is the area of $\triangle DEF.$

Proof

Denote $\angle BAC = \alpha, \angle ABC = \beta, \angle ACB = \gamma,$ $\angle EDF = \Theta, \angle E'D'F' = \theta, \angle DEF = \Psi, \angle D'E'F' = \psi,$ $\angle BAD' = \angle CAF = \varphi_A, \angle CBD' = \angle ABD = \varphi_B, \angle BCE' = \angle ACE = \varphi_C.$ It is easy to prove that $\frac {[DEF]}{R} = \frac {[D'E'F']}{R'}$ is equivalent to $DE \cdot \sin \Theta \cdot \sin \Psi = D'E' \cdot \sin \theta \cdot \sin \psi.$ $\Theta = \alpha - \varphi_A + \varphi_B, \theta = \beta - \varphi_B + \varphi_A, \Psi = \beta - \varphi_B + \varphi_C, \psi = \gamma - \varphi_C + \varphi_B \implies$ $\theta = 180^\circ - \gamma - \Theta, \psi = 180^\circ - \alpha - \Psi.$ By applying the law of sines, we get $\frac {BE}{\sin \varphi_C} = \frac {BC}{\sin \Psi}, \frac {BD}{\sin (\alpha - \varphi_A)} = \frac {AB}{\sin \Theta}, \frac {BC}{\sin \alpha} = \frac {AB}{\sin \gamma}.$ $ED = BD - BE \implies DE \cdot \sin \Theta \cdot \sin \Psi = \frac {AB}{\sin \gamma} \left ( \sin \gamma \cdot \sin (\alpha - \varphi_A) \cdot \sin \Psi - \sin \alpha \cdot \sin \varphi_C \cdot \sin \Theta \right )$

$\frac {BE'}{\sin (\gamma - \varphi_C)} = \frac {BC}{\sin \psi}, \frac {BD'}{\sin \varphi_A} = \frac {AB}{\sin \theta}.$ $D'E' = BE' - BD' \implies D'E' \cdot \sin \theta \cdot \sin \psi = \frac {AB}{\sin \gamma} (\sin \alpha \cdot \sin (\gamma - \varphi_C) \cdot \sin \theta - \sin \gamma \cdot \sin \varphi_A \cdot \sin \psi ).$ We need to prove that $\sin \gamma \cdot \sin (\alpha - \varphi_A) \cdot \sin \Psi - \sin \alpha \cdot \sin \varphi_C \cdot \sin \Theta = \sin \alpha \cdot \sin (\gamma - \varphi_C) \cdot \sin \theta - \sin \gamma \cdot \sin \varphi_A \cdot \sin \psi$ We make the transformations: $\sin \alpha \left[ \sin \varphi_C \cdot \sin \Theta + \sin (\gamma - \varphi_C) \cdot \sin (\gamma + \Theta) \right] = \sin \gamma \left[ \sin (\alpha - \varphi_A) \cdot \sin \Psi + \sin \varphi_A \cdot \sin (\alpha + \Psi) \right]$

$\sin \alpha \left[ \sin \varphi_C \cdot \sin \Theta + (\sin \gamma \cos \varphi_C - \cos \gamma \sin \varphi_C) \cdot (\sin \gamma \cos \Theta + \cos \gamma \sin \Theta \right] =$ $= \sin \gamma \left[ \sin \alpha \cos \varphi_A \cdot \sin \Psi - \cos \alpha \sin \varphi_A \cdot \sin \Psi + \sin \varphi_A \cdot \sin \alpha \cos \Psi + \sin \varphi_A \cdot \cos \alpha \sin \Psi \right]$ $\sin \alpha \left[ \sin \varphi_C \cdot \sin \Theta + \sin^2 \gamma \cos \varphi_C \cos \Theta - \cos ^2 \gamma \sin \varphi_C \cdot \sin \Theta + \cos \gamma \sin \Theta + \sin \gamma \cos \gamma (\cos \varphi_C \sin \Theta - \sin \varphi_C \cos \Theta) \right] =$ $= \sin \gamma \cdot \sin \alpha \left[\cos \varphi_A \cdot \sin \Psi + \sin \varphi_A \cdot \cos \Psi \right]$

$\sin \alpha \left[ \sin^2 \gamma \cdot \cos (\Theta - \varphi_C) + \sin \gamma \cdot \cos \gamma \cdot \sin (\Theta - \varphi_C)\right] = \sin \gamma \cdot \sin \alpha \cdot \sin (\Psi + \varphi_A)$

$\sin \alpha \cdot \sin \gamma \cdot \sin (\gamma + \Theta - \varphi_C) = \sin \gamma \cdot \sin \alpha \cdot \sin (\beta + \varphi_A - \varphi_B + \varphi_C).$ The last statement is obvious.

2024, Problem 18

Let $AH, BH', CH''$ be the altitudes of an acute-angled triangle $ABC, I_A$ be its excenter corresponding to $A, I'_A$ be the reflection of $I_A$ about the line $AH.$ Points $I'_B, I'_C$ are defined similarly. Prove that the lines $HI'_A, H'I'_B, H''I'_C$ concur.

Proof

Denote $I$ the incenter of $\triangle ABC.$ Points $A, I, I_A$ are collinear. We will prove that $I \in HI'_A.$ Denote $D \in BC, ID \perp BC, D' \in I'_AI_A, ID' \perp BC, E = BC \cap AI_A,$ $F \in BC, I_AF \perp BC, AH = h_A, ID = r, I_AF = r_A, BC = a, s$ - semiperimeter. $\frac {HD}{HF} = \frac {AI}{AI_A} = \frac {h_A - r}{h_A + r}.$ The area $[ABC] = r \cdot s = r_A (s - a) = \frac {a h_A}{2} \implies$ $\frac {1}{r} = \frac {1}{r_A} + \frac {2}{h_A} \implies \frac {h_A - r}{h_A+ r} = \frac {r_A}{r}.$ $\frac {I'_AD'}{HD} = \frac {HD + HF}{HD} = 1 + \frac {HF}{HD} = 1 + \frac {r_A}{r}= \frac {r_A + r}{r} \implies$ Points $I, H, I'_a$ are collinear, so the lines $HI'_A, H'I'_B, H''I'_C$ concur at the point $I.$

2024, Problem 17

Let $\triangle ABC$ be not isosceles triangle, $\omega$ be its incircle.

Let $D, E,$ and $F$ be the points at which the incircle of $\triangle ABC$ touches the sides $BC, CA,$ and $AB,$ respectively.

Let $K$ be the point on ray $EF$ such that $EK = AB.$

Let $L$ be the point on ray $FE$ such that $FL = AC.$

The circumcircles of $\triangle BFK$ and $\triangle CEL$ intersect $\omega$ again at $Q$ and $P,$ respectively.

Prove that $BQ, CP,$ and $AD$ are concurrent.

Proof

$\frac {KE} {FL} = \frac {AB}{AC},$ so points $Q,P,$ and $G = FE \cap BC$ are collinear (see Symmetry and incircle for details).

Therefore lines $BQ, CP,$ and $AD$ are concurrent (see Symmetry and incircle A for details.)

2024, Problem 16

Let $AA', BB',$ and $CC'$ be the bisectors of a triangle $\triangle ABC.$

The segments $BB'$ and $A'C'$ meet at point $D.$ Let $E$ be the projection of $D$ to $AC.$

Points $P$ and $Q$ on the sides $AB$ and $BC,$ respectively, are such that $EP = PD, EQ = QD.$

Prove that $\angle PDB' = \angle EDQ.$

Proof

$\triangle PDQ = \triangle PEQ (DQ = EQ, DP = PF, PQ$ is the common side) $\implies$

$PQ \perp DE, F = PQ \cap DE$ is the midpoint $DE \implies$

$G = BB' \cap PQ$ is the midpoint of $DB'.$ $\frac{BG}{BB'} =\frac {BQ}{BC} = \frac {BP}{BA} = \frac {BD}{BI}.$ (see Division of bisector for details.)

So $DQ || CC', PD || AA'.$ Denote $\angle ACC' = \angle BCC' = \gamma, \angle A'AC = \alpha, B'BC = \beta.$ $\angle PDB' = \angle AIB' = \angle BB'C - \angle IAC = 180^\circ - \beta - 2 \gamma - \alpha = 90^\circ - \gamma.$ $\angle QDE = 90^\circ - \angle DQP = 90^\circ - \gamma = \angle PDB'.$

2024, Problem 15

The difference of two angles of a triangle is greater than $90^\circ.$ Prove that the ratio of its circumradius and inradius is greater than $4.$

Proof

Suppose, $\angle BAC = \alpha = \angle ACB + 90^\circ = \gamma + 90^\circ.$

Let $\Omega = \odot ABC, C'$ be the point on $\Omega$ opposite $C, B'$ be the midpoint of arc $\overset{\Large\frown} {AC}.$ Then $\angle CAC' = 90^\circ \implies \angle BAC' = \angle ACB = \gamma = \angle BCC' \implies$ $\overset{\Large\frown} {AB} = \overset{\Large\frown} {BC'} \implies BB' || CC'.$ $BO = CO \implies \angle CBO = \angle OCB = \angle ACB = \gamma.$ $\angle ABC = \beta = 180^\circ - \gamma - \alpha = 90^\circ - 2 \gamma.$ $\angle OBB' = \frac {\beta}{2} + \gamma = 45^\circ.$ $BO = OB' = R \implies \angle BB'O = 45^\circ, \angle BOB' = 90^\circ.$ Incenter $I$ triangle $\triangle ABC$ lies on $BB',$ therefore $OI \ge \frac {R}{\sqrt {2}}.$

We use the Euler law $OI^2 = R^2 - 2 Rr \implies \frac {2r}{R} = 1 - \frac {OI^2}{R^2} \le \frac{1}{2} \implies \frac{R}{r} \ge 4.$

If $R = 4r$ then $OI \perp BB' \implies \frac {BI}{IB'} = 1 \implies \frac {BC + AB}{AC} = 2, BI = \frac{R}{\sqrt{2}}.$ $\sin CBI = \frac {r}{BI} = \frac{r \sqrt{2}}{R} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}} \implies \sin \beta = \frac{\sqrt{7}}{4} \implies$ $AC = 2R \sin \beta = R \frac {\sqrt{7}}{2},AB = AC (1 - \frac{1}{\sqrt {7}}), BC = AC (1 + \frac{1}{\sqrt {7}}).$

If $\angle BAC' > \angle ACB \implies \frac {OI}{R}$ increases so $\frac {r}{R}$ decreases.

2024, Problem 14

The incircle $\omega$ of a right-angled triangle $\triangle ABC$ touches the circumcircle $\theta$ of its medial triangle at point $F.$ Let $OE$ be the tangent to $\omega$ from the midpoint $O$ of the hypothenuse $AB$ distinct from $AB.$ Prove that $CE = CF.$

Proof

Let $\Omega$ and $I$ be the circumcircle and the incenter of $\triangle ABC, D = \omega \cap AB.$

Let $Q$ be nine-point center of $\triangle ABC, G$ be the point at $OB$ such that $OG = DO, K \in DI, KQ ||AB.$

Denote $r = ID, R = AO,a = BC, b = AC,c= AB, \beta = \angle ABC.$

$\triangle ABC$ is the right-angled triangle, so $Q$ is the midpoint $CO,$

$2R = c, r = \frac {a+b-c}{2},FQ = \frac{R}{2}.$ Let $h(X)$ be the result of the homothety of the point $X$ centered in $C$ with the coefficient $2.$ Then $h(\theta) = \Omega, F' = h(F) \in \Omega, O = h(Q) \implies FQ || F'O.$ $DO = EO = GO \implies \angle DEG = 90^\circ.$ $\angle DOE = 2 \angle DOI = 2 \angle EGD \implies \angle DOI = \angle EGD, IO || EG.$ WLOG, $a > b \implies DO = \frac {a-b}{2} = \tan IOD = \frac{r}{DO} = \frac{a+b-c}{a-b} = \frac{\cos\beta + \sin \beta -1}{\cos\beta - \sin \beta}.$

Let $H$ be the foot from $C$ to $\overline{AB}$ . $CH = a \sin \beta = c \sin \beta \cos \beta, BH = a \cos \beta, BG = AD = \frac{c+b-a}{2}.$ $\tan \angle CGH = \frac {CH}{BH - BG} = \frac{2 \sin \beta \cos \beta}{2 \cos^2 \beta +\cos \beta - \sin \beta -1} =$ $= \frac{(\sin \beta + \cos \beta -1)(\sin \beta + \cos \beta +1)}{(\cos \beta - \sin \beta)(\sin \beta + \cos \beta +1)} = \frac{\cos\beta + \sin \beta -1}{\cos\beta - \sin \beta} = \tan IOD.$ Therefore points $C,E,$ and $G$ are collinear. $\psi = \angle BCG = \angle AGC - \angle ABC \implies$ $\tan \psi = \frac {\tan \angle AGC - \tan \angle ABC}{1 + \tan \angle AGC \cdot \tan \angle ABC} = \frac {c - a}{c-b}.$ $\sin 2\psi = \frac {2\tan \psi}{1 + \tan^2 \psi} = \frac {2(c-a)(c-b)}{c(3c - 2b - 2a)},$ $\angle AOF' = \angle KQI, \sin \angle KQI = \frac{CH/2 -r}{QF - r}.$ $4c(QF - r) = c(c -2a -2b +2c) = c(3c -2a -2b),$ $2c(CH - 2r) = 2(ab -ac -bc +c^2) = 2(c - a)(c - b),$ $\sin \angle KQI = \frac {2(c-a)(c-b)}{c(3c - 2b - 2a)}= \sin 2 \psi \implies \angle KQI = 2 \psi.$ $\angle ACF' = \frac {\angle AOF'}{2} = \frac {\angle KQI}{2} = \psi = \angle BCG \implies \angle FCI = \angle ECI \implies CF = CE.$ vladimir.shelomovskii@gmail.com, vvsss

2024, Problem 12

The bisectors $AE, CD$ of a $\triangle ABC$ with $\angle B = 60^\circ$ meet at point $I.$

The circumcircles of triangles $ABC, DIE$ meet at point $P.$

Prove that the line $PI$ bisects the side $AC.$

Proof

Denote $M$ the midpoint $AC, \omega = \odot DIE,$ $\varphi = \angle CIM, \phi = \angle DIP, f(x) = \frac {\sin x}{\sin(120^\circ -x)}.$ $\angle AIC = 90^\circ + \frac {\angle ABC}{2} = 120^\circ = 180^\circ - \angle ABC \implies B \in \omega.$ In triangles $\triangle CIM$ and $\triangle AIM$ , by applying the law of sines, we get $\frac {IM}{\sin \angle ACI} = \frac {CM}{\sin \varphi}, \frac {IM}{\sin \angle CAI} = \frac {AM}{\sin (120^\circ -\varphi)} \implies f(\varphi) = \frac {\sin \varphi} {\sin (120^\circ -\varphi)} = \frac {\sin \angle ACI}{\sin \angle CAI}.$

We use the formulas for circle $\omega$ and get $\frac {PD}{\sin \angle PID} = \frac {PE}{\sin \angle PIE} \implies f(\phi) = \frac {\sin \phi} {\sin (120^\circ -\phi)} = \frac {PD}{PE}.$

$\angle BDI = \angle AEC \implies \angle ADC = 180^\circ - \angle AEC.$ In triangles $\triangle ADC$ and $\triangle AEC$ , by applying the law of sines, we get $\frac {AD}{\sin \angle ACD} = \frac {AC}{\sin \angle ADC} = \frac {AC}{\sin \angle AEC} \implies \frac {AD}{CE} = \frac {\sin \angle ACI}{\sin \angle CAI}.$

$\angle BEP = \angle BDP, \angle BCP = \angle BAP \implies \triangle APD \sim \triangle CPE \implies \frac {AD}{CE} = \frac {PD}{PE}.$

Therefore $f(\phi) = f(\varphi).$ The function $f$ increases monotonically on the interval $(0, \frac {2 \pi}{3}).$

This means $\phi = \varphi$ and points $P,I,$ and $M$ are collinear.

2024, Problem 9

Let $ABCD (AD || BC$ be a trapezoid circumscribed around a circle $\omega,$ centered at $O$ which touches the sides $AB, BC, CD,$ and $AD$ at points $P, Q, R, S,$ respectively.

The line passing trough $P$ and parallel to the bases of trapezoid meets $QR$ at point $X.$

Prove that $AB, QS,$ and $DX$ concur.

Solution

Solution 1. $AP = AS \implies \angle AOS = \frac {\overset{\Large\frown} {PS}}{2} = \angle PQS \implies PQ||AO.$

$OD \perp OC, QR \perp OC \implies OD || QX. AD ||PX \implies$

$E = AP \cap QS$ is the center of similarity of triangles $\triangle PQX$ and $\triangle AOD.$

Solution 2. $\triangle ODS \sim \triangle QXG \implies \frac {SD}{GX} = \frac {SO}{GQ} = \frac {1}{2} \cdot \frac {SQ}{GQ} = \frac {1}{2} \cdot \frac {AB}{PB}.$

Denote $EA = x, AP = AS = y, BP = BQ = z.$

$\triangle AES \sim BEQ \implies \frac {x}{x+y+z}= \frac {y}{z} \implies xz = xy + y^2 + yz \implies 2xz = xy + y^2 + yz + xz \implies$

$\frac {x}{x+y}= \frac {y+z}{2z} \implies \frac {AS}{AG} = \frac {1}{2} \cdot \frac {AB}{PB} \implies \triangle ESD \sim \triangle EGX \implies E \in DX.$ vladimir.shelomovskii@gmail.com, vvsss

2024, Problem 8

Let $ABCD$ be a quadrilateral with $\angle B = \angle D$ and $AD = CD.$

The incircle of $\triangle ABC$ touches the sides $BC$ and $AB$ at points $E$ and $F$ respectively.

The midpoints of segments $AC, BD, AE,$ and $CF$ are points $M,X,Y,Z.$

Prove that points $M,X,Y,Z.$ are concyclic.

Solution

$ZM || AB, YM || BC \implies \angle YMZ = \angle ABC = \angle ADC = \alpha.$ $2 \vec {XY} = \vec {DA} + \vec {BE}, 2 \vec {XZ} = \vec {DC} + \vec {BF}.$ $\vec {DC}$ is the rotation of $\vec {DA}$ around a point $D$ through an angle $\alpha.$

$\vec {BF}$ is the rotation of $\vec {BE}$ around a point $B$ through an angle $\alpha.$

So $\vec {XZ}$ is the rotation of $\vec {XE}$ around a point $X$ through an angle $\alpha.$

2024, Problem 2

Three distinct collinear points are given. Construct the isosceles triangles such that these points are their circumcenter, incenter and excenter (in some order).

Solution

Let $M$ be the midpoint of the segment connecting the incenter and excenter. It is known that point $M$ belong the circumcircle. Construction is possible if a circle with diameter IE (incenter – excenter) intersects a circle with radius OM (circumcenter – M). Situation when $E$ between $I$ and $O$ is impossible.

Denote points $A, B, C$ such that $B \in AC$ and $AB \le BC.$

Suppose point $A$ is circumcenter, so $B$ is incenter. $M$ is midpoint BC. The vertices of the desired triangle are located at the intersection of a circle with center $A$ and radius $AM$ with $\omega$ and a line $AB.$

Suppose point $C$ is circumcenter, so $B$ is incenter. $M$ is midpoint $AB.$ The vertices of the desired triangle are located at the intersection of a circle with center $A$ and radius $AM$ with $\omega$ and a line $AB.$

Suppose point $B$ is circumcenter, so $A$ is incenter. $M$ is midpoint $AB.$ Suppose $3 AB < BC.$ The vertices of the desired triangle are located at the intersection of a circle with center $B$ and radius $BM$ with $\omega$ and a line $AB.$

If $3 AB \ge BC$ there is not desired triangle.
