Solutions — 2
Solution 1
Define , , to be the intersection points of the lines , , with the sides , , , respectively, , the intersection points of the tangent line to at with the lines , , respectively, , the intersection points of the tangent line to at with the lines , , respectively, , the intersection points of the tangent line to at with the lines , , respectively, , , the intersection points of the three tangent lines to at , , , as shown in the figure, the radius of and the inradius of triangle .
The distance from to each line , is equal to . Therefore, is on the bisector of angle . But is a parallelogram. We deduce that is a rhombus and therefore . On the other hand, we have as tangents to from . We deduce that . We deduce in a similar way that and .

Because lines and are parallel, we have from Thales
We have similarly
and
Therefore
and by Ceva's theorem, lines , , are concurrent.
Solution 2
Because and are perpendicular to and , respectively, at the intouch points of the incircle of , and , we have and as oriented angles. We have in a similar way , , and as oriented angles.
Because , , intersect in a point , we have from the trigonometric form of Ceva's theorem
Similarly, we have
and
After multiplication and cancellation, we obtain
We deduce from the trigonometric form of Ceva's theorem that , , are concurrent.
