Let be a right-angled triangle with . Let be the altitude from onto . Let , and be the incentres of triangles , and respectively. Show that the circumcentre of the triangle lies on the hypotenuse .
Solution:
We begin with the following lemma:
Lemma: Let be a triangle with . Construct an isosceles triangle , externally on the side , with base angle . Then is the circumcentre of .
Proof of the Lemma: Draw . Then is the perpendicular bisector of . We also observe that . Observe that is on the perpendicular bisector of . Construct the circumcircle of . Draw the perpendicular bisector of and let it meet in . Then is the circumcentre of . Join . Then . But we know that . Hence .
Let , and be the inradii of the triangles , and respectively. Join and . Observe that . Hence
Let . Observe that and . This gives . But . Similarly, . Hence
Consider . Observe that . Hence subtends on the circumference of the circumcircle of . But we have seen that . Now construct a circle with as diameter. Let it cut again in . It follows that and the points are concyclic. We also notice and .

Thus is an isosceles right-angled triangle with . Therefore and hence .
Now and with .
Hence is the circumcentre of .
Solution:
Here we use computation to prove that the point of contact of the incircle with is the circumcentre of . We show that .
Let and be the inradii of triangles and respectively. Draw and . If is the semiperimeter of , then .

But
Hence . This gives , . Hence .
We observe that .
Thus . Finally,
Thus . Similarly, . This gives and therefore is the circumcentre of .
