Problem Statement

We are given a non-isosceles triangle ABCABC with incenter II. Show that the circumcircle kk of the triangle AIBAIB does not touch the lines CACA and CBCB. Let PP be the second point of intersection of kk with CACA and let QQ be the second point of intersection of kk with CBCB. Show that the four points AA, BB, PP and QQ (not necessarily in this order) are the vertices of a trapezoid.
