Problem Statement

Given triangle ABCABC and the pointsD,E(BC)D,E\in \left( BC \right), F,G(CA)F,G\in \left( CA \right), H,I(AB)H,I\in \left( AB \right) so that BD=CEBD=CE, CF=AGCF=AG and AH=BIAH=BI. Note with M,N,PM,N,P the midpoints of [GH]\left[ GH \right], [DI]\left[ DI \right] and [EF]\left[ EF \right] and with M{M}' the intersection of the segments AMAMand BCBC. a) Prove that BMCM=AGAHABAC\frac{B{M}'}{C{M}'}=\frac{AG}{AH}\cdot \frac{AB}{AC}. b) Prove that the segmentsAMAM, BNBN and CPCP are concurrent.
