Problem Statement

Let C1,C2 C_1,C_2 and C3 C_3 be three pairwise disjoint circles. For each pair of disjoint circles, we define their internal tangent lines as the two common tangents which intersect in a point between the two centres. For each i,j i,j, we define (rij,sij) (r_{ij},s_{ij}) as the two internal tangent lines of (Ci,Cj) (C_i,C_j). Let r12,r23,r13,s12,s13,s23 r_{12},r_{23},r_{13},s_{12},s_{13},s_{23} be the sides of ABCABC ABCA'B'C'. Prove that AA,BB AA',BB' and CC CC' are concurrent. https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/1/2/5ef098966fc9f48dd06239bc7ee803ce4701e2.png
