In a triangle
![ABC](/media/m/a/c/7/ac75dca5ddb22ad70f492e2e0a153f95.png)
we have
![AB = AC.](/media/m/9/7/0/970a36256837a07db6b3837bd7c95bcb.png)
A circle which is internally tangent with the circumscribed circle of the triangle is also tangent to the sides
![AB, AC](/media/m/d/7/6/d769eff805676f4c17bb0624e6a4ccef.png)
in the points
![P,](/media/m/a/1/4/a14de1403fe9b971067bc4aac029b8a8.png)

![Q.](/media/m/7/8/b/78b8b2b44099003e844b852726990bc5.png)
Prove that the midpoint of
![PQ](/media/m/f/2/f/f2f65ec376294df7eca22d2c1a189747.png)
is the center of the inscribed circle of the triangle

In a triangle $ABC$ we have $AB = AC.$ A circle which is internally tangent with the circumscribed circle of the triangle is also tangent to the sides $AB, AC$ in the points $P,$ respectively $Q.$ Prove that the midpoint of $PQ$ is the center of the inscribed circle of the triangle $ABC.$
