Let ABC be an isosceles triangle in which AB = AC. On the circle circumscribed to this triangle we take a point D belonging to the smallest arc joining A to B. Finally we take a point E belonging to the line (AD), outside the segment [AD] and such that the points A and E are in the same half-plane limited by the line (BC). The circle circumscribed to the triangle BDE intersects the line (AB) at F. Prove that the lines (EF) and (BC) are parallel.

Let ABC be a right triangle at A with AB <AC, M the midpoint of [BC], D the intersection of (AC) with the line perpendicular to (BC) passing through M and E the point of intersection of the line parallel to (AC) passing through M with the line perpendicular to (BD) passing through B. Show that the triangles AEM and MCA are similar if, and only if, \angle ABC = 60^o

Let ABC be a triangle and I the center of its inscribed circle. We suppose that AI = BC and that \angle ICA  = 2\angle IAC. What is the value of \angle ABC ?

Four circles C_1, C_2, C_3, C_4 of the same radii r are internally tangent to a circle of radius R. We set C_5 = C_1. We suppose that for all i = 1, 2, 3, 4, the circles C_i and C_{i + 1} are tangent. Determine the value of the ratio r / R .

Let A, B, C and D be four distinct points in the plane. It turns out that any circle that goes through A and B meets any circle that goes through C and D. Prove that A, B, C and D are all on the same line or that they are all on the same circle.

On a circle of perimeter p, we mark the three vertices of an equilateral triangle as well as the four vertices of a square. These seven points divide the circle into 7 arcs. Prove that one of these arcs is no longer than p/24.

Let ABC be a triangle. Let M, N be two points on [BC] such that the \angle BAM = \angle NAC . Let O_1 be the center of the circle circumscribed to triangle ABC and O_2 the center of circle circumscribed to triangle AMN. Show that the points O_1, O_2 and A are collinear.

Each side of a unit square is divided into 3 equal segments. We draw the figure below from this share. What is the area of the gray polygon? Justify your answer.
Two circles C_1 and C_2 are tangent externally at a point X. A tangent common to the two circles meets C_1 in Y and C_2 in Z (with Y \ne Z). Let T be such that [YT] is a diameter of C_1. Show that T, X, Z are collinear.

We construct the following figure: we draw an triangle ABC isosceles at A, then the line (d) perpendicular to (BC) passing through C. We choose a point D on (d). We place E so that AEDB or a parallelogram. Finally, M is the point of intersection of (AE) and (d). Prove that M is the midpoint of [AE].

Let ABCD be a rectangle such that AB> BC. Let E be the orthogonal project of B on (AC), \Gamma the circle passing through A and E and whose center is on (AD). Let F be the point of intersection of \Gamma and [CD]. Prove that (BF) is the bisector of AFC.

Let ABCD be a convex quadrilateral, with \angle ABC= 90^o, \angle BAD=\angle  ADC  = 80^o. Let M and N be points of [AD] and [BC] such that \angle CDN = \angle ABM  = 20^o. Suppose finally MD = AB. Calculate \angle MNB .

Let ABCD be a rectangle of area 4. Let I be the midpoint of [AD] and let J be the midpoint of [BC]. Let X be the point of intersection of (AJ) and (BI), and let Y be the point of intersection of (DJ) and (CI). What is the area of the quadrilateral IXJY ?

Let ABC be a triangle. Let E be the foot of the altitude of ABC from B, and F the foot of the altitude of ABC from C. We also denote by H the point of intersection of lines (BE) and (FC), and O the center of the circle circumscribed to ABC. Show that, if AF = FC, then the quadrilateral EHFO is a parallelogram.

Let ABCD be a square and E the point of the segment [BD] such that EB = AB. We define the point F as the point of intersection of lines (CE) and (AD). Find the value of the angle \angle FEA.
Let ABCD be a parallelogram of area 1 and M a point belonging to the segment [BD] such that MD = 3MB. We denote by N the point of intersection of lines (AM) and (CB). Calculate the area of triangle MND .
