In the acute triangle $ABC$, with $AB \ne BC$, let $T$ denote the midpoint of the side $[AC], A_1$ and $C_1$ denote the feet of the altitudes drawn from $A$ and $C$, respectively. Let $Z$ be the intersection point of the tangents in $A$ and $C $ to the circumcircle of triangle $ABC, X$ be the intersection point of lines $ZA$ and $A_1C_1$ and $Y$ be the intersection point of lines $ZC$ and $A_1C_1$. a) Prove that $T$ is the incircle of triangle $XYZ$. b) The circumcircles of triangles $ABC$ and $A_1BC_1$ meet again at $D$. Prove that the orthocenter $H$ of triangle $ABC$ is on the line $TD$. c) Prove that the point $D$ lies on the circumcircle of triangle $XYZ$.
