Let △ABC\vartriangle ABC be a right-angled triangle with ∠A=90o\angle A = 90^o and circumcircle Γ\Gamma. The inscribed circle is tangent to BCBC in point DD. Let EE be the midpoint of the arc ABAB of Γ\Gamma not containing CC and let FF be the midpoint of the arc ACAC of Γ\Gamma not containing BB. (a) Prove that △ABC∼△DEF\vartriangle ABC \sim \vartriangle DEF. (b) Prove that EFEF goes through the points of tangency of the incircle to ABAB and ACAC.
