GGG4, Quarantine Edition: Day 2

by Andrew Wu

4. Let ABC be an acute, scalene triangle with circumcenter O, and let D be a point lying on side
BC. The perpendicular bisectors of DB and DC meet lines AB and AC at points P and Q,
respectively. Point X is the reflection of D in P Q. Show that AX k BC if and only if D, O, X
are collinear.

5. Let ABC be a scalene triangle with circumcircle Γ, circumcenter O, and incenter I. Suppose that
L is the midpoint of arc BAC
[ on Γ. The perpendicular bisector of AI meets arcs AB d and AC,d
not containing C and B, respectively, at X and Y . Let lines XL and AC meet at P ; let lines Y L
and AB meet at Q. Show that the orthocenter of 4OP Q lies on line XY .

6. Acute scalene 4ABC has circumcircle Ω and altitudes BE and CF . Point N is the midpoint
of EF and line AN meets Ω again at Z. Let lines ZF and ZE meet Ω again at V and U ,
respectively, and let lines CV and BU meet at P . Prove that U V and BC meet on the tangent
from P to the circumcircle of 4AP N .
