IMO 1960 Problem 3

  • Day 1

In a given right triangle ABCABC , the hypotenuse BCBC , of length aa , is divided into nn equal parts ( nn and odd integer). Let α\alpha be the acute angel subtending, from AA , that segment which contains the mdipoint of the hypotenuse. Let hh be the length of the altitude to the hypotenuse fo the triangle. Prove that: tan⁡α=4nh(n2−1)a.\tan{\alpha}=\dfrac{4nh}{(n^2-1)a}.
