Question 2 As shown in Figure 1, in the cyclic quadrilateral ABCDABCD, AB>BCAB > BC, AD>DCAD > DC, II and JJ are the incenters of ABC\triangle ABC and ADC\triangle ADC, respectively. The circle with diameter ACAC intersects the line segment IBIB at point XX, and intersects the extension of JDJD at point YY. Prove: If points BB, II, JJ, DD are concyclic, then points XX, YY are symmetric with respect to ACAC.

Solution

Proof: As shown in Figure 1, construct DHACD H \perp A C at point HH, and let BIB I intersect YJY J at point MM, and IJI J intersect ACA C at point NN.
 By MJI=MBD=12ABCCBD=90CAD12ADC=JDHIJ//DHIJAC. \begin{array}{l} \text { By } \angle M J I=\angle M B D=\frac{1}{2} \angle A B C-\angle C B D \\ =90^{\circ}-\angle C A D-\frac{1}{2} \angle A D C=\angle J D H \\ \Rightarrow I J / / D H \Rightarrow I J \perp A C . \end{array}

By the properties of the incircle,
ANNC=ABBC=ADDCAB+DC=AD+BC \begin{array}{l} A N-N C=A B-B C=A D-D C \\ \Rightarrow A B+D C=A D+B C \end{array}
\Rightarrow Quadrilateral ABCDA B C D is a bicentric quadrilateral.
As shown in Figure 2, draw Y1X1ACY_{1} X_{1} \perp A C, intersecting ODO D and OBO B at points Y1Y_{1} and X1X_{1}, respectively.
By IJ//X1Y1I J / / X_{1} Y_{1}, and I,J,D,BI, J, D, B being concyclic,
Y1,D,X1,B\Rightarrow Y_{1}, D, X_{1}, B are concyclic
APPC=PBPD=PX1PY1A,X1,C,Y1 are concyclic X1PPY1=sinX1OPsinY1OPOX1OY1. Also, BPPD=sinBOPsinDOPBOOD,OX1OY1=ODOBX1PPY1=BPPDDO2OB2. \begin{array}{l} \Rightarrow A P \cdot P C=P B \cdot P D=P X_{1} \cdot P Y_{1} \\ \Rightarrow A, X_{1}, C, Y_{1} \text { are concyclic } \\ \Rightarrow \frac{X_{1} P}{P Y_{1}}=\frac{\sin \angle X_{1} O P}{\sin \angle Y_{1} O P} \cdot \frac{O X_{1}}{O Y_{1}} . \\ \text { Also, } \frac{B P}{P D}=\frac{\sin \angle B O P}{\sin \angle D O P} \cdot \frac{B O}{O D}, \frac{O X_{1}}{O Y_{1}}=\frac{O D}{O B} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{X_{1} P}{P Y_{1}}=\frac{B P}{P D} \cdot \frac{D O^{2}}{O B^{2}} . \end{array}

Taking the tangency points TT and SS on ADA D and BCB C, respectively. By Newton's theorem, T,P,ST, P, S are collinear.
 By OBSDOTBODO=BSOT=OSDTBO2OD2=BSDTBSPB=sinBPSsinPSB=sinTPDsinPSC=sinTPDsinPTD=TDPD. Thus, X1PPY1=1. \begin{array}{l} \text { By } \triangle O B S \backsim \triangle D O T \\ \Rightarrow \frac{B O}{D O}=\frac{B S}{O T}=\frac{O S}{D T} \Rightarrow \frac{B O^{2}}{O D^{2}}=\frac{B S}{D T} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{B S}{P B}=\frac{\sin \angle B P S}{\sin \angle P S B}=\frac{\sin \angle T P D}{\sin \angle P S C} \\ =\frac{\sin \angle T P D}{\sin \angle P T D}=\frac{T D}{P D} . \\ \text { Thus, } \frac{X_{1} P}{P Y_{1}}=1 . \end{array}

Therefore, ACA C is the diameter of the circumcircle of quadrilateral Y1AX1CY_{1} A X_{1} C. Hence, points XX and YY are symmetric with respect to ACA C.
