AE is an interior bisector of angle A BE/EC = AB/AC CD is an interior bisector of angle C AD/DB = AC/BC AE is an exterior bisector of angle B FA/FC = AB/BC therefore BD/DA * AF/FC * CE/EB = BC/AC * AB/BC * AC/BC = 1 therefore D, E, F are collinear points Magdy Essafty
Considering Pappu's hexagon Theorem A,D,B and A,C,F are two sets of collinear points. As B,E,C are collinear D,E,F should be collinear to form the pappus line AE.

ReplyDeleteBE/EC = AB/AC
CD is an interior bisector of angle C
AD/DB = AC/BC
AE is an exterior bisector of angle B
FA/FC = AB/BC
therefore
BD/DA * AF/FC * CE/EB = BC/AC * AB/BC * AC/BC = 1
therefore
D, E, F are collinear points

- P is on AC such that BP bisects <B.
ReplyDelete- It is known that P is the harmonic conjugate of F w/r AC.
In conclusion, F-E-D must be colinear.
