The main idea (maybe the most simple one) when I approach this problem is that I have to prove CD, HI, FG intersects at 1 point.
Here is my solution:
Let J be the intersection of FG and BC. As very well- known result, we have (JECB)=-1. On the other hand, because P, D, C are
collinear. Therefore, P lies on the perpendicular bisector of GE. Then PC is the bisector of angle EPJ. Therefore PC
perpendicular to PB. P belong to (I,BC/2).
By angle chasing, we can prove that PI parallel with AC. Besides, we also have HI parallel with AC.
=>P, H, I are collinear.
Invert around D with radius DF=DE=DG, we shall get the result.
Invert around D with radius DF=DE=DG, we shall get the result.
Luis González Y
#4 Feb 25, 2009, 8:35 am
I've seen an easier way. We already know that lines FG, CD and HI are concurrent (easy to prove with angle chasing), then just
note that points H and I have equal powers with respect the incircle and the circle (DKL). Now, it means that IH is their radical
axis and this completes the proof.

Parallel projection is a central projection from a point at infinity. Just like central projection, parallel projection takes points to
points, lines to lines, and conics to conics. Suppose it carries points to points Since all rays
concur at a point at infinity, they are all parallel. It has the same invariant as central projection (it
preserves cross ratios) and additional invariants: It preserves ratios of line segments on the same line and ratios of areas.
Therefore, all points at infinity remain at infinity and parallel lines go to parallel lines. Parallel projection can also be defined as an
affine transformation, i.e., the composition of a linear transformation and a translation.

So we need to prove
But since b is the smallest side we know that both A and C are greater than or equal to 60.
So LHS is greater than or equal to 3/2 with equality for equilateral triangle
And RHS is lesser than or equal to 3/2 by jensen's with equality for equilateral triangle.

When is right-angled, the inequality is trivial, thus we assume that is acute. Let denote the midpoints

The property holds for any APB, CRB and CQA similar triangles, not necessarily isosceles. If the angles PAB, RCB and ACQ are
equal, then the triangles QRC and ABC are spirally similar, which gives AP and QR equal and parallel.

GENERAL PROBLEM. – A triangle is given and let be, three similar triangles,
with and erected on respectively,
such that to be outwardly to and inwardly to it. Prove that the quadrilateral
is a parallelogram.
PROOF. – Let be, the circumcircle of the triangles and we denote the point
We draw the line through the point and parallel to which intersects the circles at points
respectively.
Similarly, it is easy to show that the quadrilateral is a parallelogram, from and from
from the trapeziums and and
So, we have
From
Hence, because of we conclude that the triangles are congruent, with their homologous side-
segments, parallel each other.
From we conclude that the quadrilateral is a parallelogram and the proof is completed.
REMARK. – As an interesting remark, we can say that from the similar triangles we have that
From
That is, if we consider as a fixed segment and as a mobile point in the plane then, for the similar triangles
with and where are constant, erected on
rerspectively, such that the triangle to be outwardly to and the triangle to be inwardly to it,
it is true always the result of where and the angle formed by the line segments
is equal to
As a direct application of this interesting result, we can have an easy proof of the problem Prove that it is parallelogram.
