Alan draws a convex 2020-gon A=A1A2⋯A2020\mathcal{A}=A_{1} A_{2} \cdots A_{2020} with vertices in clockwise order and chooses 2020 angles θ1,θ2,…,θ2020∈(0,π)\theta_{1}, \theta_{2}, \ldots, \theta_{2020} \in(0, \pi) in radians with sum 1010π1010 \pi. He then constructs isosceles triangles △AiBiAi+1\triangle A_{i} B_{i} A_{i+1} on the exterior of A\mathcal{A} with BiAi=BiAi+1B_{i} A_{i}=B_{i} A_{i+1} and ∠AiBiAi+1=θi\angle A_{i} B_{i} A_{i+1}=\theta_{i}. (Here, A2021=A1A_{2021}=A_{1}.) Finally, he erases A\mathcal{A} and the point B1B_{1}. He then tells Jason the angles θ1,θ2,…,θ2020\theta_{1}, \theta_{2}, \ldots, \theta_{2020} he chose. Show that Jason can determine where B1B_{1} was from the remaining 2019 points, i.e. show that B1B_{1} is uniquely determined by the information Jason has.
