Given is a triangle ABCABC.On the extensions of the side ABAB we consider points A1,B1A_1,B_1 such that AB1=BA1AB_1=BA_1 (with A1A_1 lying closer to BB).On the extensions of the side BCBC we consider points B4,C4B_4,C_4 such that CB4=BC4CB_4=BC_4 (with B4B_4 lying closer to CC).On the extensions of the side ACAC we consider points C1,A4C_1,A_4 such that AC1=CA4AC_1=CA_4 (with C1C_1 lying closer to AA).On the segment A1A4A_1A_4 we consider points A2,A3A_2,A_3 such that A1A2=A3A4=mA1A4A_1A_2=A_3A_4=mA_1A_4 where 0<m<120<m<\frac{1}{2}.Points B2,B3B_2,B_3 and C2,C3C_2,C_3 are defined similarly,on the segments B1B4,C1C4B_1B_4,C_1C_4 respectively.If D≡BB2∩CC2 , E≡AA3∩CC2 , F≡AA3∩BB3D\equiv BB_2\cap CC_2 \ , \ E\equiv AA_3\cap CC_2 \ , \ F\equiv AA_3\cap BB_3,  G≡BB3∩CC3 , H≡AA2∩CC3\ G\equiv BB_3\cap CC_3 \ , \ H\equiv AA_2\cap CC_3 and I≡AA2∩BB2I\equiv AA_2\cap BB_2,prove that the diagonals DG,EH,FIDG,EH,FI of the hexagon DEFGHIDEFGHI are concurrent.
