Solution
We have .
Let and be the incentres of and respectively. Note that is the intersection point of and , while is the intersection point of and . Applying Pascal's theorem to , we find that are collinear.
Since and , we have . Thus, we have

with . This implies . Also, the isogonal line of with respect to , the isogonal line of with respect to and the line are concurrent at some point by symmetry. Observe that since and are oppositely similar. Similarly, . We now claim that .

Let be the projection of on , and let be the projection of on . Note that are the foot of altitude from , the contact point of the incircle with the side , and the midpoint of .
in . Similar results hold for in . As , we have . Therefore, are collinear. This implies lies on both and , and hence .
Now, let be the intersection of and . Then due to the isogonal lines. By the angle bisector theorem, we have .
Note that , and the ratio is . Let and so that and . It is given that and . We easily find that and . Therefore,
