Problem 5: - On Side AC of Circle of Point A Is Defined Similarly. Prove That A

1) An arbitrary point D is selected on side AC of triangle ABC. Tangents are drawn from D to the circumcircle of triangle BDC and triangle ADC, meeting AB at C1 and AC at A1 respectively. 2) Similar triangles are used to show that BC1/A1C = BA1/C1A. 3) By Thales' theorem, this implies that A1C1 is parallel to AC.

Problem 5

. On side AC of △ABC an arbitrary point is selected D. The tangent in D to the circum-


circle of △BDC meets AB in point C1 ; point A1 is defined similarly. Prove that A1 C1 ∥ AC.

÷
Take point E ∈ A1 D − (DA1 and point F ∈ C1 D − (DC1 .
m(AD)

÷
. We have m(C1 BD) = = m(ADE) = m(A1 DC), so C1 BD ≡ A1 DC.

m(B D)
. We have m(A1 CD) = = m(BDC1 ), so BDC1 ≡ A1 CD.

BC1 C1 D
. Next, △BDC1 ∼ △DCA1 ⇒ = ⇒ BC1 · A1 C = A1 D · C1 D.
A1 D A1 C
BA1 A1 D
. Analogues, △BDA1 ∼ △DAC1 ⇒ = ⇒ BA1 · C1 A = A1 D · C1 D.
C1 D C1 A
BC1 BA1
. Finally, BC1 · A1 C = BA1 · C1 A ⇒ = ⇒ A1 C1 ∥ AC. (Thales Theorem)
