Let ABC be a triangle with m(∠B)=90∘. The incircle of △ABC is tangent to the side BC at point D. Let the intersection of lines XZ and AD be K, where X and Z are the centers of incircles of △ABD and △ADC, respectively. XZ intersects the circumscribed circle of △ABC at U and V and the midpoint of segment is M. Let Y be the point of intersection of the line AD with the circumscribed circle of △ABC different from A. Prove that ∣CY∣=2∣MK∣. (Cafer Tayyar Yıldırım).
Solution
Let the incircle of △ABD be tangent to BC at T and the incircle of △ADC be tangent to BC at S. The radii of incircles of △ABD and △ADC are r1 and r2, respectively. Then DS=2AD+DC−AC=2AD+BC−BD−AC=2AD−BD−AB+AB+BC−AC=2AB+BC−AC−2AB+BD−AD=BD−BT=TD. Since X and Z are centers of incircles, XD⊥DZ. Therefore, XZ2=XD2+DZ2=r12+TD2+r22+TD2. and since XZ2=(r1−r2)2+TS2=(r1−r2)2+4TD2 we have r12+r22+2TD22r1r2=(r1−r2)2+4TD2=2TD2. Thus, XZ2XZ=r12+r22+2TD2=(r1+r2)2=r1+r2. Obviously, XK≥r1 and ZK≥r2. Since XK+ZK=r1+r2, XK=r1, ZK=r2 and XZ⊥AD. Let O be the center of circumscribed circle of △ABC (the midpoint of the segment AC). Then OM⊥UV. Since AC is a radius CY⊥AY. Thus, UV and CY are parallel. Suppose OM∩CY=N. Then ON⊥CY and YN=NC. In the rectangle KYNM, MK=NY. Therefore, CY=2MK. Done.
