Two circles and are externally tangent to each other at a point , and both of these circles are tangent to a third circle which encloses the two circles and .
The common tangent to the two circles and at the point meets the circle at a point . One common tangent to the circles and which doesn't pass through meets the circle at the points and such that the points and lie on the same side of the line .
Prove that the point is the incenter of triangle .
Alternative formulation. Two circles touch externally at a point . The two circles lie inside a large circle and both touch it. The chord of the large circle touches both smaller circles (not at ). The common tangent to the two smaller circles at the point meets the large circle at a point , where the points and are on the same side of the chord . Show that the point is the incenter of triangle .
