Discovered Geometry Properties

Given a non-isosceles triangle \(ABC\) with incenter \(I\) and circumcircle \(\omega\). Denote the midpoints of arcs \(BC, AC, AB\) that does not contain the opposite vertex by \(X,Y,Z\) respectively. Denote \(P\) the midpoint of arc \(BC\) containing \(A\). Denote the intersection of \(BP\) and \(ZX\) as \(M\) and the intersection of \(XY\) and \(CP\) as \(N\). Prove that

  1. Quadrilaterals BXIMBXIM and XCNIXCNI are kites.

  2. MINMIN are collinear and XIXI is perpendicular to MNMN.

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

  • Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
  • Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
  • Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
  • Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Comments

They are two cyclic kites meaning symmetric pair of angles are right,which directly implies the second property

Yea even i did it that way ... although in the second part i could first prove the second statement and then the collinearity. This was a nice geometry problem @Alan Yan Can you also post some more geometry problems ?

I m not able to understand the location of point N as intersection of BC and CP makes point C as point N
