Problem In an acute triangle $ABC$, take points $P$ and $Q$ on the perpendicular lines drawn from the vertices $B$ and $C$ to the opposite sides, or on their extensions, so that $BP=CA$ and $CQ=BA$, respectively. Also, if we take points $P’$ and $Q’$ on $BC$ so that $PP’⊥BC$ and $QQ’⊥BC$, then $$PP’+QQ’=BC$$ $$ $$…
