ReplyDeletePer the result of problem 662
We have ( AHC)=(AIC)=(AOC)=120
And 5 points A, H, I, O and C are co cyclic ( see picture)
Since (B)=60 >> (BAH)=30
Since (AOC)=120 >> (OAC)=30
AI is and angle bisector of (BAC) >> AI is also an angle bisector of (HAO)
Arc HI=arc IO and IH=IO
Peter Tran
B = 60°, A + C = 120°.
ReplyDeleteLet D be the midpoint of BC
BH = 2 OD = 2R cos B = R = BO
∠HBA = 90° - A
∠OBC = ∠OCB = 90° - ∠BOC/2
= 90° - A = ∠HBA
Already BI bisects ∠ABC
Follows BI bisects ∠HBO and
∆BIH ≡ ∆BIO
∴HI = IO
