Problem Statement

(BUL4)(BUL 4) Let MM be the point inside the right-angled triangle ABC(C=90)ABC (\angle C = 90^{\circ}) such that MAB=MBC=MCA=ϕ.\angle MAB = \angle MBC = \angle MCA =\phi. Let Ψ\Psi be the acute angle between the medians of ACAC and BC.BC. Prove that sin(ϕ+Ψ)sin(ϕΨ)=5.\frac{\sin(\phi+\Psi)}{\sin(\phi-\Psi)}= 5.
