Center Illusion


$\triangle ABC$ একটি ত্রিভুজ যার $AC$ বাহুর উপর $D$ এমন একটি বিন্দু যে  $AB=CD$ হয় এবং $\angle B-\frac{\angle A}{2}=90^\circ, \angle ADB-\frac{\angle A}{2}=\angle ABD$. $BD$ কে $F$ পর্যন্ত এমনভাবে বর্ধিত করি যেন $AB=AF$ হয়। প্রমাণ কর যে $F$, $\triangle ABC$ ত্রিভুজের পরিবৃত্তের কেন্দ্র।

Solution

Disclaimer: The solutions we've shared are just one exciting approach, and there are surely many other wonderful methods out there. We’d love to hear your alternative solutions in the community thread below, so let's keep the creativity flowing!

Let $x=\angle A/2$. By the first angle condition, we obtain $\angle B=90^\circ+x,\angle C=90^\circ-3x$.


Since $AB=AF$, hence by the second angle condition, we obtain 

$\angle AFB=\angle ABF=90^\circ-(3x/2),\angle BAF=3x, \angle CDF=\angle BDA=90^\circ -x/2, \angle FAD=\angle FAB-\angle DAB=3x-2x=x$.

Let $D'$ be the reflection of $D$ over the midpoint of $AC$.


Since $AD'=AF$, hence $\angle AD'F=90-x/2=\angle CDF$.

$\therefore FD=FD'$ or $F$ lies on the perpendicular bisector of $DD'$ which is the perpendicular bisector of $AC$.

So, $\angle ABC=90^\circ+x, \angle FAD=\angle FAC=\angle FCA=x, \angle CFA=180^\circ - 2x = 360^\circ - 2\angle B$.


Since $\angle B$ is obtuse, hence $F$ is the circumcenter of $\triangle ABC$.
