Aug 14, 2021 at 1:19 comment added CELLSecret Why is $\angle JHA=90^\circ$? It feels like it on the diagram, but bisect is not enough to the argument. For example, $HI$ also bisects $AB$ but $\angle AHI\not=90^\circ$

minor formatting fix – making parens around a fraction big enough and a middle fraction line a bit longer

Dec 23, 2020 at 10:38 comment added Chris I think bubbler's explanation of why JHA is a right triangle should be added to the explanation. It isn't immediately obvious at a glance.
Dec 23, 2020 at 0:14 comment added Bubbler Wow, I failed to spot that JHA is a right triangle (which works because H bisects BA and A and B are on the outer circle, whose center is J). But then actually you don't need cosine rules; using Pythagoras twice on JIH and JHA would have been enough (which gives $(1+\sqrt{3}-r)^2+1^2+1^2=r^2$, which reduces to a nice linear equation).
