USAMO proofs — Proofs

Olympiad statements to prove in full. Write the argument out, then compare it with the model proof — structure, cases and rigor, not just the idea.

Problem 1 of 22
Geometry

Prove Euler's theorem: if OO and II are the circumcenter and incenter of a triangle with circumradius RR and inradius rr, then OI2=R(R−2r)OI^2 = R(R - 2r). Deduce R≥2rR \ge 2r.

Write a full proof on paper. There is no answer box — when you are ready, reveal the solution and compare your argument.
