Problem:
On a cyclic quadrilateral , there is a point on side such that the triangle and the quadrilateral have equal perimeters and equal areas. Prove that two sides of have equal lengths.
Problem:
On a cyclic quadrilateral , there is a point on side such that the triangle and the quadrilateral have equal perimeters and equal areas. Prove that two sides of have equal lengths.
Solution:
We denote by and the areas of and quadrilateral , respectively. We use the labels depicted in the following figure.

With equal perimeters, we get
or
With equal areas, we get
Since and have the same altitude from , we have
With , we have
On the other hand, since is cyclic, we know that . Then and . After noting that and applying , equation reduces to
This last equation is equivalent to
which implies that or .
