Prove that $IJ=IK=JK$.

122 Views Asked by At

Today I have an interesting geometric problem as following:

Let $\triangle ABC $ be an arbitrary triangle. Points $M$ and $N$ on the side $AB$ are such that $AM=BN=\dfrac{AB}{3}$. Points $P$ and $Q$ on the side $BC$ are such that $BP=CQ=\dfrac{BC}{3}$. Points $R$ and $S$ on the side $CA$ are such that $CR=AS=\dfrac{CA}{3}$. Construct equilateral triangles $IMN$, $JPQ$, and $KRS$ external to the triangle $ABC$. Prove that $\triangle IJK$ is an equilateral triangle.

I think here we can use rotation !

My first idea is to use the axe but I have problems in coordinates of points?

Can assist

I'm thankful


Thanks!!
