Problem 2, 2016

RegionalProof

In a quadrilateral \(ABCD\) the sides \(AD\) and \(BC\) are equal, and the interior angles at \(A\) and \(B\) satisfy

\[ \angle DAB + \angle ABC = 120^\circ . \]

Prove that the midpoint of the diagonal \(AC\), the midpoint of the diagonal \(BD\) and the midpoint of the side \(CD\) are the vertices of an equilateral triangle.

A B C D
The three dots are the midpoints of the diagonals \(AC\) and \(BD\) and of the side \(CD\); the ticks mark \(AD = BC\).
