Question 32

Let the excircle of the triangle *ABC* opposite to the vertex *A* be tangent to side *BC* at $A_1$. Define the points $B_1$ and $C_1$ analogously, using the excircles opposite $B$ and $C$, respectively. Suppose that the circumcenter of triangle $A_1B_1C_1$ lies on the circumcircle of triangle $ABC$. Prove that triangle $ABC$ is right-angled.

*The excircle of triangle $ABC$ opposite the vertex $A$ is the circle that is tangent to the line segment $BC$, to the ray $AB$ beyond $B$, and to the ray $AC$ beyond $C$. The excircles opposite $B$ and $C$ are similarly defined.*
