Given a triangle ABC, its A-excircle is the point where the external bisectors of angles and meet. Let , and be the A, B, C-excenters of scalene triangle ABC, respectively, and X, Y and Z be the midpoints of , and , respectively. The incircle of triangle ABC touches sides BC, CA and AB at D, E and F, respectively. Prove that lines DX, EY and FZ meet at a single point on line IO that connects the incenter I and the circumcenter O of triangle ABC.
Solution
We start with the following useful lemma:
Lemma. Let be a triangle and , and be its excenters. Then the midpoints of the sides of the triangle lie on the circumcircle of .
Proof. First notice that and are the internal and external bisectors of , respectively, so is the altitude relative to in triangle . So the circle that goes through the feet of the altitudes , and is the nine point circle of , and thus the midpoints of the sides of that triangle lie on it.

Since and , is the perpendicular bisector of , so . We also have . So . Since as well, we conclude that . Analogously, and , so triangles and are homothetic. Let be the homothety that maps to . Since , , and lie on the circumcircle of (by the lemma) and , and lie on the incircle of , maps the circumcircle to the incircle, and thus to . Hence , , and pass through the center of the homothety and we are done.
