Given is a convex hexagon , such that and , , . Prove that the lines , and have a common point.
Solution
Assume that the angle bisectors of the angles and intersect at (Fig. 1). We shall prove that the hexagon has an inscribed circle, whose center is . Then the conclusion follows from Brianchon's Theorem.
The equality implies that the triangles and are congruent. Hence we have . Similarly, triangles and are congruent, so we obtain .

Fig. 1
Moreover, we have , which together with the equality implies that the triangles and are congruent. Thus the angle bisector of the angle passes through the point and .
Now the equalities are equivalent to , which yields . Therefore the angle bisectors of the angles , and all pass through the point . Thus is the center of the inscribed circle of the hexagon , as claimed.
