Problem Statement

For every triangle ABCABC inscribed in a circle Γ\Gamma , let A,B,CA',B',C' be the intersections of the bisectors of the angles at A,B,CA,B,C with Γ\Gamma . Consider the triangle ABCA'B'C' . (a) Do triangles ABCA'B'C' go over all possible triangles inscribed in Γ\Gamma as ABC\vartriangle ABC varies? If not, what are the constraints? (b) Prove that the angle bisectors of ABC\vartriangle ABC are the altitudes of A,B,C\vartriangle A',B',C' .
