Problem Statement

Let a triangle ABC,A1ABC, A_1 be the midpoint of the segment [BC],B1(AC)[BC], B_1 \in (AC) ¸and C1(AB)C_1 \in (AB) such that [A1B1[A_1B_1 is the bisector of the angle AA1CAA_1C and A1C1A_1C_1 is perpendicular to ABAB. Show that the lines AA1,BB1AA_1, BB_1 and CC1CC_1 are concurrent if and only if BAC=90o \angle BAC = 90^o
