Problem Statement

Let MM be a point on the altitude CDCD of an acute-angled triangle ABCABC, and KK and LL the orthogonal projections of MM on ACAC and BCBC. Suppose that the incenter and circumcenter of the triangle lie on the segment KLKL.
(a) Prove that CD=R+rCD=R+r, where RR and rr are the circumradius and inradius, respectively. (b) Find the minimum value of the ratio CM:CDCM:CD.
