HCHS Mock Geometry Olympiad 2017-2018

The problems are in increasing order of difficulty. Enjoy!

Problem 1 In △ABC, equilateral triangles △ABE and △ACF are erected outwardly on
the sides of △ABC. The circumcircle of △ABE meets BC at B and B1 and
AC at A and B2 . The circumcircle of △ACF meets BC at C and C1 and AB
at A and C2 . Prove that if lines B1 B2 and C1 C2 intersect at P , then AP ⊥ BC.

Problem 2 Let ABC be a triangle with circumcircle Γ, circumcenter O, and orthocenter

H. Let BH and AC meet at E, and let CH and AB meet at F . Line EF
d and AC,
intersects arcs AB d not containing C and B, at points S1 and S2 ,
respectively. Suppose that Q 6= A denotes the intersection of Γ and the circle
←−→ ←→ ←−→ ←→
with diameter AH. Let S1 Q and AC meet at X; let S2 Q meet at AB meet at
Y . Prove that X, Y, H are collinear.

Problem 3 Let △ABC be a triangle, and let I, IA , Ω, M be the incenter, A-excenter, cir-
\ on Ω, respectively. Line M I meets Ω
cumcircle, and midpoint of arc BAC
again at P , and IA P meets Ω again at Q. Let the circumcircles of △IP Q and
△BIC intersect at K other than I. Show that AP, BC, IA K are concurrent,
and that this point of concurrency lies on the circumcircle of △IP Q if and only
if AB + AC = 3BC.

Problem 4 Let ABC be a triangle with circumcircle ω. Suppose circle ωB is tangent to

BA, BC and internally tangent to ω at TB , while circle ωC is tangent to CA, CB
and internally tangent to ω at TC . Let ωB and ωC touch BC at B1 and C1
respectively. If B1 TB and C1 TC meet CA and BA at B2 and C2 respectively,
prove that TB TC , B2 C2 and BC are concurrent.

Problem 5 Let ABC be a triangle with circumcircle Γ, circumcenter O, and orthocenter

H. Suppose that L is the second intersection of Γ and the circle with diameter
AH. Let BL and AC meet at P ; let CL and AB meet at Q. Prove that the
orthocenter of △OP Q lies on BC.

Problem 6 Let ABC be a triangle with circumcircle Γ, incenter I, and incircle tangent to
AB, AC at F , E respectively. Suppose EF meets Γ at distinct points P and
Q, and M is the midpoint of BC. Let J denote the point on EF such that
M J ⊥ EF . Show that IJ and the radical axis of (M P Q), (AJI) intersect on
Γ.
