Let be a triangle. Point lies on side , such that the incircles of triangles and are congruent. Let be the circle with diameter , and let be the circle with diameter . Prove that line is perpendicular to one of the common tangents to the circles and .
Solution
Denote as the altitude of triangle then clearly so is the common chord of the two circles. Let be the common tangent near of the two circles with . According to the familiar property, passes through the midpoint of . Draw then .
We redefine as a point on such that . Let be the two incenters of respectively and let intersect at respectively. Let be the centers of the circles (which are also the midpoints of ) then (because they are both perpendicular to ) so
which implies or . Similarly, .

Now draw then . From there, according to the orthogonality property of two harmonic bundles, we immediately have . Thus, . Then, according to the property of the angle bisector,
Therefore, the distances from to the line are equal implies that the radius of the circle inscribed in triangles are equal. So in other words, is the given point in the problem.
