Problem A. 591. (May 2013)

A. 591. There is given a convex quadrilateral ABCD and some points P, Q, R and S on the line segments AB, BC, CD and DA, respectively. The line segments PR and QS meet at T. Suppose that each of the the quadrilaterals APTS, BQTP, CRTQ and DSTR have an inscribed circle. Prove that the quadrilateral ABCD also has an inscribed circle.

Sorry, the solution is available only in Hungarian. Google translation

Megoldásvázlat. Használjuk az ábra betűzését.

Mivel

EF+IJ=ZU+VY=ZT+TU+VT+TY=NT+TM+XT+TW=NW+XM=LK+HG,

ezért

AB+CD=(AE+EF+FB)+(CI+IJ+JD)=(AL+LK+KD)+(CH+HG+GB)=AD+BC.

Az ABCD négyszög szemközti oldalainak összege mindkét pár esetén ugyanaz, tehát ABCD érintőnégyszög.
