  1. [ 25 ] Let triangle ABC satisfy 2 BC = AB + AC and have incenter I and circumcircle ω . Let D bethe intersection of AI and ω (with A, D distinct). Prove that I is the midpoint of AD .
    Answer: N/A Since AD is an angle bisector, D is the midpoint of arc BC opposite A on ω . It iswell-known that B , I , and C lie on a circle centered at D . Thus BD = DC = DI . Applying Ptolemy’stheorem to cyclic quadrilateral ABDC , we get
    AB · DC + AC · BD = AD · BC = AD · ( AB + AC ) / 2

    Using BD = DC we have immediately that AD = 2 BD = 2 DI so I is the midpoint of AD as desired.
    Solution 2: Let P and Q be the midpoints of AB and AC , and take the point E on segment BC such
    AB + AC AB ACthat BE = BP . Note that CE = AB − BE = AB − BP = − = = CQ , so triangles

    BP E and CQE are isosceles. In addition, = = , so by the angle bisector theorem, AE
    EC AC/ 2 ACbisects ∠ CAB , whence E must lie on the bisector of ∠ A .
    Since triangles BP E and CQE are isosceles, the bisectors of angles B and C are the perpendicular bisectors of segments P E and EQ , respectively. Thus, the circumcenter of △ P QE is I , so theperpendicular bisector of P Q meets the bisector of ∠ A at I .

    Furthermore, since ∠ DAB = ∠ CAD , arcs BD and DC have the same measure, so BD = DC , whencethe perpendicular bisector of BC meets the bisector of ∠ A at D . A homothety centered at A withfactor 1/2 maps BC to P Q , and so maps D to I . Thus, D is the midpoint of AI .
    Solution 3: Let a = BC , b = CA , and c = AB , let r and R denote the lengths of the inradius andcircumradius of △ ABC , respectively, let E be the intersection of segments AD and BC , and let O bethe circumcenter of △ ABC . I is the midpoint of chord AD if and only if OI ⊥ AD , which is true
