NationalOpen answer

Let \(I\) be the incenter of a triangle \(ABC\), and suppose that

\[ |CA| + |AI| = |BC| . \]

Determine the ratio of the sizes of the angles \(\angle BAC\) and \(\angle CBA\).

A B C I
The incenter \(I\) of triangle \(ABC\). The hypothesis links the two sides drawn from \(A\) and \(C\): \(|CA| + |AI| = |BC|\).
