Not what you're looking for?
1- Given triangle ABC, prove that an internal bisectors of an angle of a triangle divides the opposite sides (internally) into two segments proportional to the adjacent sides of the triangle. That is prove that DB/DC = AB/AC. (D is the point where e internal bisector of <A meets with BC)
2- Given triangle ABC with in-center I prove that < BIC = 90 + ½ (< BAC)

Need to prove, BD/DC = AB / AC
Lets use the sin rule for a triangle,
For triangle, ABD
BD/sin a = AB /sin (<BDA) ------------------------------- (1)
<BDA = 180 - (b+a),
So sin (<BDA ) = sin [180 - (b+a)] = sin (b+a)
Substituting in (1),
BD/sin a = AB /sin (b+a) --------------------(2)
For triangle ADC using sin rule,
DC /sin (a) = AC / sin (<ADC) ...
