Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $AB < AC < BC$. Let the incentre and incircle of triangle $ABC$ be $I$ and $\omega$, respectively. Let $X$ be the point on line $BC$ different from $C$ such that the line through $X$ parallel to $AC$ is tangent to $\omega$. Similarly, let $Y$ be the point on line $BC$ different from $B$ such that the line through $Y$ parallel to $AB$ is tangent to $\omega$. Let $AI$ intersect the circumcircle of triangle $ABC$ again at $P \neq A$. Let $K$ and $L$ be the midpoints of $AC$ and $AB$, respectively. Prove that $\angle KIL + \angle YPX = 180^{\circ}$ .

Part 3: Prove that $\angle AIL + \angle XPM = 90^\circ$ and $\angle AIK + \angle YPM = 90^\circ$.

Comments: Although this is an IMO problem, the skills needed to solve this problem have all previously tested in AMC and its system math contests, such as HMMT.~ also proved by Kislay Kai

Evidence 1: 2020 Spring HMMT Geometry Round Problem 8

I used the property that because point $P$ is on the angle bisector $AI$, $\triangle BPC$ is isosceles. This is a crucial step to analyze $\angle XPY$. This technique was previously tested in this HMMT problem.

Evidence 2: 2022 AMC 12A Problem 25

The technique in this AMC problem can be easily and directly applied to this IMO problem to quickly determine the locations of points $X$ and $Y$. If you read my solutions to both this AMC problem and this IMO problem, you will find that I simply took exactly the same approach to solve both.

Solution simple

2024 AIME II 12 d.png

Let point $Z$ be $YZ||AB, XZ||AC, G \in AC, IG||BC, G' \in AB, IG' || BC.$ $F= AC \cap YZ, F' = AB \cap XZ.$

$AFZF'$ is the parallelogram with equal heights, so $AFZF'$ is rhomb $\implies$ \[\angle CAZ = \angle AZY = \angle BCP, AI = IZ.\] \[AL = LC, AI = IZ \implies IL || ZC \implies \angle LIG = \angle BCZ.\] $\angle AZY = \angle BCP = \angle YCP \implies$ points $C,P, Y,$ and $Z$ are concyclic.

Therefore $\angle ZPY = \angle LIG.$

Similarly, $\angle ZPX = \angle KIG'. \blacksquare$
