Problem Statement

Let A,B,C A,B,C be collinear points on the plane with B B between A A and C C. Equilateral triangles ABD,BCE,CAF ABD,BCE,CAF are constructed with D,E D,E on one side of the line AC AC and F F on the other side. Prove that the centroids of the triangles are the vertices of an equilateral triangle, and that the centroid of this triangle lies on the line AC AC.
