Construct the A-height and call the foot of the altitude D .
Notice that ∠ B H C = ∠ B I C = 1 2 0 ∘ . This implies that B I H C is cyclic. Because opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral are supplements and ∠ I B C = 2 ∠ B , we know that ∠ I H C = 1 8 0 ∘ − 2 ∠ B .
Since ∠ D A C = 9 0 ∘ − ∠ C and ∠ A C H = 9 0 ∘ − A , we know that ∠ D H C = 1 8 0 − ∠ A − ∠ C = ∠ B .
Since ∠ D H C = ∠ B ∠ I H C = 1 8 0 ∘ − 2 ∠ B , we know that ∠ I H D = ∠ I H C − ∠ D H C = 1 8 0 ∘ − 2 3 ∠ B ⟹ ∠ A H I = 2 3 ∠ B .
