ReplyDeletelet H’ and O’ are point of symmetry of H and O over AC.
H’ and O’ will be on circle O ….( property of orthocenter and angle AOC= 120)
Due to symmetric property, O and H will be on circle O’, radius=OO’ ( see sketch)
We have Angle(AOO’)=angle(AO’O)=60
And angle(AHO)= ½*angle(AO’O)=30
Extend EC, EC meet the circle at anoter point, T
ReplyDeleteHCF=EBF
HCF=TBE
TBE=EBH && BE Orthogonal to HT => TE=EH
=> AH=AT
ATH=60 => ATH Equilateral triangle
let M midPoint of AT
build HM, HM median and Altitude to AT=> O on HT =>
OH an angle bisector => OHA=30
Problem 892
ReplyDeleteIs <AOC=120=<AHC (<AHC=180-<ABC=180-60=120). Therefore AOHC is concyclic. So
<AHO=<ACB=(180-120)/2=30.
