Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle with side $AB$ of length $1$. Say we reflect the points $A$ and $B$ across the midpoints of $BC$ and $AC$, respectively to obtain the points $A’$ and $B’$ . Assume that the orthocenters of triangles $ ABC$, $A’BC$ and $B’AC$ form an equilateral triangle. a) Prove that triangle $ABC$ is isosceles. b) What is the length of the altitude of $ABC$ through $C$?
