Problem Statement
Let be a non isosceles triangle inscribed in a circle and are two angle bisectors intersect at with belongs to segment and belongs to segment . Suppose that intersect at respectively. The line passes through and perpendicular to intersects at the second point the line passes through and perpendicular to intersect at the second point . Denote are two midpoints of and respectively.
1. Prove that triangles and are similar.
2. Suppose that S is the intersection of two lines and . Prove that is perpendicular to .
