Let be a triangle, . The line passing through the vertices and orthogonal to the angle bisector of , meets and the median of the side at points and , respectively. Prove that segment bisects the segment .
!
Let and . Since and is angle bisector of , we have that is isosceles i.e. , also is midpoint of . Hence is midline for i.e. , from where it is clear that is a midpoint of .
We will prove that . It is sufficient to show . From and we have
Also
From (1) and (2) we have , so , as is the midpoint of , it follows that the segment , bisects the segment .
