So I've done only problem a and haven't made any progress on b or c. Our lesson was about Thales' theorem, similar triangle.
I'm trying to figure out how to prove the two triangles IJO and BJD are similar. I dont have any other approaches in mind.

#

Well, only 9th grader has to face this thing in Vietnam

wispy obsidian
#

yea lol, this really sucks

gleaming temple
#

I will try do to this

wispy obsidian
#

uh also EFBC is a cyclic quadrilateral, idk if that helps but i havent done anything with it

gleaming temple
#

It's been 3 years since I did any of this crab

nah, I'm 12th grader

gleaming temple
#

can you share your diagram

#

I'm kinda lazy to make one

wispy obsidian
#

uh yea

#

uh so its the one below

#

gleaming temple
#

so you need help with part c right?

wispy obsidian
#

Please show the original problem, exactly as it was stated to you, with the entire original context. A picture or screenshot is best. If the original problem is not in English, then post it anyway! The additional context might still be helpful. Do your best to provide a translation.

What even is I?

#

also

wispy obsidian
#

wat

gleaming temple
#

There is no way any triangle include BC has J as incenter

wispy obsidian
gleaming temple
#

oh wait

#

It can

#

but what's I

wispy obsidian
#

this is the orignial problem

#

I is midpoint of AH

#

i forgor

gleaming temple
#

"trực tâm" is orthocenter

#

not incenter

wispy obsidian
#

oh

#

my bad

gleaming temple
#

I maybe too old for this lol

wispy obsidian
#

aw man

#

its alright

#

thank youu

#

b can be done simply with brocard

#

for c, N is the I-humpty pt of IBC, so its reflection is on IBC's symmedian

wispy obsidian
#

oh cool, thanks man

#

i have no idea what either of those are…

b. Lemma: Point H is the orthocenter in triangle $ABC$ iff it lies on altitude $AD$ and $DH\cdot DA = DB\cdot DC$ (exercise to prove)
Here, we want to prove $DH\cdot DA$ = $DJ\cdot DI$ where $DH \cdot DA = DB \cdot DC$ therefore J is the orthocenter of IBC
