In a triangle $ABC$, the median $AD$ (with $D$ on $BC$) and the angle bisector $BE$ (with $E$ on $AC$) are perpedicular to each other. If $AD = 7$ and $BE = 9$, find the integer nearest to the area of triangle $ABC$.

2019 BAMO, E/3

In triangle $\vartriangle ABC$, we have marked points $A_1$ on side $BC, B_1$ on side $AC$, and $C_1$ on side $AB$ so that $AA_1$ is an altitude, $BB_1$ is a median, and $CC_1$ is an angle bisector. It is known that $\vartriangle A_1B_1C_1$ is equilateral. Prove that $\vartriangle ABC$ is equilateral too. (Note: A median connects a vertex of a triangle with the midpoint of the opposite side. Thus, for median $BB_1$ we know that $B_1$ is the midpoint of side $AC$ in $\vartriangle ABC$.)

2006 BAMO, 3

In triangle $ABC$, choose point $A_1$ on side $BC$, point $B_1$ on side $CA$, and point $C_1$ on side $AB$ in such a way that the three segments $AA_1, BB_1$, and $CC_1$ intersect in one point $P$. Prove that $P$ is the centroid of triangle $ABC$ if and only if $P$ is the centroid of triangle $A_1B_1C_1$. Note: A median in a triangle is a segment connecting a vertex of the triangle with the midpoint of the opposite side. The centroid of a triangle is the intersection point of the three medians of the triangle. The centroid of a triangle is also known by the names ”center of mass” and ”medicenter” of the triangle.
