1. Define the incircles and their centers:
Let ω and ω′ be the incircles of △ABC and △A′B′C′, centered at I and I′, respectively.
2. **Identify the intersection point K:**
Let K=AC∩A′C′. By symmetry, K lies on the line II′.
3. **Define the intersection point T:**
Let T=AA′∩II′. The claim is that T is the exsimilicenter of ω and ω′.
4. Setup additional intersection points:
Define the following points:
- P=A′C′∩BC
- P′=AC∩B′C′
- Q=A′C′∩BA
- Q′=AC∩B′A′
5. Apply Pascal's theorem:
By Pascal's theorem on the hexagon A′C′B′BCA, we get that the lines AA′, BB′, and P′ are concurrent. Similarly, lines CC′, BB′, and QQ′ are concurrent.
6. Apply DDIT (Desargues' Dual Involution Theorem):
We will apply DDIT four times to establish involutions at T:
- On AA′PP′ at T, we get an involution Φ1 swapping {TA,TP}, {TA′,TP′}, {TK,TB}.
- On CC′QQ′ at T, we get an involution Φ2 swapping {TC,TQ}, {TC′,TQ′}, {TK,TB}.
- On CBQK with incircle ω at T, we get an involution Φ3 swapping {TC,TQ}, {TA,TP}, {TK,TB}. It also swaps the two tangents from T to ω.
- On C′B′Y′K with incircle ω′ at T, we get an involution Φ4 swapping {TC′,TQ′}, {TA′,TP′}, {TK,TB}. It also swaps the two tangents from T to ω′.
7. Compare the involutions:
Observe that Φ1 shares two reciprocal pairs with both Φ3 and Φ4, and so does Φ2. Thus, we deduce that Φ1=Φ2=Φ3=Φ4=Φ.
8. Conclude the tangents must coincide:
If the tangents from T to ω and ω′ were different, then Φ would be the reflection across TK, which is absurd because it swaps {TK,TB}. Thus, the tangents must coincide, and T is indeed the exsimilicenter.
9. Apply Monge's theorem:
Consider a circle Ω tangent to segments BA, BC, and B′A′. By Monge's theorem, the exsimilicenter of Ω and ω′ must lie on BT. However, it must also lie on B′A′, so it is indeed B′, and thus B′C′ is also tangent to Ω.
10. Conclusion:
Since XBYB′ is a convex quadrilateral and it has an incircle, the proof is complete.
