  • Final day 2

Let ABCABC be a right-angled triangle in AA such that AB<ACAB<AC . Let MM be the midpoint of BCBC and let DD be the intersection of ACAC with the perpendicular line to BCBC which passes through MM . Let EE be the intersection point of the parallel line to ACAC which passes through MM with the perpendicular line to BDBD which passes through BB . Prove that triangles AEMAEM and MCAMCA are similar if and only if ∠ABC=60∘\angle ABC=60^{\circ} .
