Let A, be the center of the square inscribed in acute triangle ABC with two vertices of the square onside BC (as shown in the figure below). Thus, one of the two remaining vertices of the square lies onside AB and the other on side AC. Points B, and C, are defined in a similar way for inscribed squareswith two vertices on sides AC and AB, respectively. Prove that lines AA,, BB, CC, are concurrent.SEBA₁
