VN-TST 1992 Problem 3

  • Day 1

Let ABCABC a triangle be given with BC=aBC = a , CA=bCA = b , AB=cAB = c ( a≠b≠c≠aa \neq b \neq c \neq a ). In plane ( ABCABC ) take the points A′A' , B′B' , C′C' such that:

I. The pairs of points AA and A′A' , BB and B′B' , CC and C′C' either all lie in one side either all lie in different sides under the lines BCBC , CACA , ABAB respectively;

II. Triangles A′BCA'BC , B′CAB'CA , C′ABC'AB are similar isosceles triangles.

Find the value of angle A′BCA'BC as function of a,b,ca, b, c such that lengths AA′,BB′,CC′AA', BB', CC' are not sides of an triangle. (The word "triangle" must be understood in its ordinary meaning: its vertices are not collinear.)
