Given an inscribed quadrilateral ABCD, which marked the midpoints of the points M,N,P,Q in this order. Let diagonals AC and BD intersect at point O. Prove that the triangle OMN,ONP,OPQ,OQM have the same radius of the circles
This one wants a proof. Work it on paper, read the official solution, then mark
yourself honestly — the ladder only means something if the record is true.
Official solution
1. Identify the given elements and relationships: - We have an inscribed quadrilateral ABCD with midpoints M,N,P,Q of sides AB,BC,CD,DA respectively. - Diagonals AC and BD intersect at point O.
2. Establish similarity of triangles: - Since M and P are midpoints, BM=2AB and PC=2CD. - Given MBO≡PCO and OCOB=CDAB=PCBM, we can conclude that △BOM∼△COP.
3. Use the Law of Sines in similar triangles: - From the similarity △BOM∼△COP, we have: OPOM=OCBO=sin∠DBCsin∠ACB - Applying the Law of Sines in △BOM and △COP: sin∠ACBOM=sin∠DBCOP
4. Relate areas of triangles: - Using the area formula for triangles, we have: BC⋅AC⋅sin∠ACBON⋅OM⋅MN=BC⋅BD⋅sin∠DBCON⋅OP⋅NP - Simplifying, we get: S△ACBON⋅OM⋅MN=S△DBCON⋅OP⋅NP
5. Equate the areas: - It follows that: 4S△MON=S△ACBand4S△PON=S△DBC - Therefore: S△MONON⋅OM⋅MN=S△PONON⋅OP⋅NP - This implies: R△MON=R△PON
6. Generalize for other triangles: - By similar arguments, we can prove the same relationship for △ONP and △OQM.
Conclusion: R△MON=R△PON=R△ONP=R△OQM
