RegionalProof

Let \(ABC\) be an isosceles triangle with \(AB = BC\). A point \(M\) is chosen inside it so that

\[ \angle AMC = 2 \angle ABC , \]

and a point \(N\) on the segment \(AM\) satisfies \(\angle BNM = \angle ABC\). Prove that

\[ BN = CM + MN . \]

The data: \(AB = BC\), \(\angle ABC = \beta\), \(\angle AMC = 2\beta\) and \(\angle BNM = \beta\), with \(N\) on \(AM\).
