A B C be a triangle, with A B = 1 1 and A C = 7 , and let I , B 1 , C 1 respectively be the incenter, the intersection between the side A C and the internal bisector B I of ∠ A B C and the intersection between the side A B and the internal bisector C I of ∠ A C B . Knowing that A B 1 C 1 I are concyclic, and that B C = n , find n .

In triangle CBI : α + β + γ = 1 8 0 = γ + θ
→ α + β = θ
In triangle ABC: 2 α + 2 β + θ = 3 α + 3 β = 1 8 0
→ α + β = θ = 6 0
cos θ = cos 6 0 = 2 1 = 2 × 1 1 × 7 1 1 2 + 7 2 − n
→ n = 9 3

We can clearly notice from diagram that-
∠ I C 1 B = 1 8 0 − ∠ B − 2 ∠ C
∠ I B 1 A = 1 8 0 − ∠ A − 2 ∠ B
Since A B 1 I C 1 is c y c l i c , m ∠ I C 1 B = m ∠ I B 1 A
⇒ 1 8 0 − ∠ B − 2 ∠ C = 1 8 0 − ∠ A − 2 ∠ B
⇒ A = 2 B + C
Also,
A + B + C = 1 8 0 ⇒ 2 B + C + B + C = 1 8 0
⇒ B + C = 1 2 0 ⇒ A = 6 0
Using Extension of Pythagoras theorem for A = 60 ,
( B C ) 2 = ( 1 1 ) 2 + ( 7 ) 2 − ( 1 1 ) ( 7 ) = 1 2 1 + 4 9 − 7 7 = 9 3
⇒ n = 9 3
