Let ${ABC}$ be a triangle, ${k}$ its incircle and ${k_a,k_b,k_c}$ three circles orthogonal to ${k}$ passing through ${B}$ and ${C, A}$ and ${C}$ , and ${A}$ and ${B}$ respectively. The circles ${k_a,k_b}$ meet again in ${C'}$ ; in the same way we obtain the points ${B'}$ and ${A'}$ . Prove that the radius of the circumcircle of ${A'B'C'}$ is half the radius of ${k}$ .
