Problem B. 3809. (March 2005)

B. 3809. The triangle ABC is isosceles, namely AB = BC. The points C1, A1, B1 lie on the sides AB, BC, CA, respectively, and such that \angleBC1A1=\angleCA1B1=\angleCAB. The lines BB1 and CC1 meet at  P. Prove that the quadrilateral AB1PC1 is cyclic.

Megoldás. Azt kell bizonyítanunk, hogy AC_1C\measuredangle=CB_1B\measuredangle. Mivel C_1AC\measuredangle=B_1CB\measuredangle, ez ekvivalens azzal, hogy az AC1C és CB1B háromszögek hasonlók, ami ugyanezen ok miatt azzal ekvivalens, hogy AC1:AC=CB1:CB, vagyis hogy CB:AC=CB1:AC1. Mivel viszont AC1=A1C, ez azonnal következik az ABC és A1B1C háromszögek hasonlóságából.
