Solution:
The segment AA′ bisects ∠OAH: if ∠BCA=y (Figure 4), then ∠BOA=2y, and since OA=OB, it is ∠OAB=∠OBA=90∘−y. Also since AH⊥BC, it is
∠HAC=90∘−y=∠OAB and the claim follows.
Since AA′ bisects ∠OAH and A′H=AH, OA′=OA, we have that the isosceles triangles OAA′, HAA′ are equal. Thus
AH=OA=R
where R is the circumradius of triangle ABC.
Call ∠ACH=a and recall by the law of sines that AH=2R′sina, where R′ is the circumradius of triangle AHC. Then (4) implies
R=2R′sina
But notice that R=R′ because sin(AHC)AC=2R′, sin(ABC)AC=2R and sin(AHC)=sin(180∘−ABC)=sin(ABC). So (5) gives 1=2sina, and a as an acute angle can only be 30∘. Finally, ∠BAC=90∘−a=60∘.
