Facundo and Luca have been given a cake that is shaped like the quadrilateral in the figure. [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/3/2/630286edc1935e1a8dd9e704ed4c813c900381.png[/img] They are going to make two straight cuts on the cake, thus obtaining $4$ portions in the shape of a quadrilateral. Then Facundo will be left with two portions that do not share any side, the other two will be for Luca. Show how they can cut the cuts so that both children get the same amount of cake. Justify why cutting in this way achieves the objective.

Triangle $ABC$ has incenter $I$ and excircles $\Omega_A$, $\Omega_B$, and $\Omega_C$. Let $\ell_A$ be the line through the feet of the tangents from $I$ to $\Omega_A$, and define lines $\ell_B$ and $\ell_C$ similarly. Prove that the orthocenter of the triangle formed by lines $\ell_A$, $\ell_B$, and $\ell_C$ coincides with the Nagel point of triangle $ABC$.

Triangle $ABC$ is assumed. The point $T$ is the second intersection of the symmedian of vertex $A$ with the circumcircle of the triangle $ABC$ and the point $D \neq A$ lies on the line $AC$ such that $BA=BD$.
