Problem 2

  • Day 1

The circle SS has centre OO , and BCBC is a diameter of SS . Let AA be a point of SS such that ∠AOB<120∘\angle AOB<120{{}^\circ} . Let DD be the midpoint of the arc ABAB which does not contain CC . The line through OO parallel to DADA meets the line ACAC at II . The perpendicular bisector of OAOA meets SS at EE and at FF . Prove that II is the incentre of the triangle CEF.CEF. Attachments:
