Let me analyze the content of your uploaded image to assist you in completing the proof accurately. PIL import Image import pytesseract

Load the uploaded image

image_path = "/mnt/data/17371406101050ktithbs.jpg" img = Image.open(image_path)

Use OCR to extract text

extracted_text = pytesseract.image_to_string(img) extracted_textThe extracted text is somewhat distorted. However, I can clearly see that this is a geometric proof where you are asked to fill in missing statements and reasons related to the given information about $BP$ being the bisector of $\angle ABC$, and $P$ being equidistant from the sides of $\triangle ABC$. Let me refine and interpret the extracted content to provide a clear solution for completing this proof.

Interpreted Statements and Reasons:

Statements:

1. $BP$ is the bisector of $\angle ABC$. (Given)
2. $\triangle ABP \cong \triangle CBP$.
3. $\angle BXP$ and $\angle BYP$ are right angles. (Given)
4. $\angle BXP \cong \angle BYP$. (All right angles are congruent)
5. $BP \cong BP$. (Reflexive Property of Congruence)
6. $\triangle BXP \cong \triangle BYP$. (AAS Congruence Postulate)
7. $PX \cong PY$. (Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent)
8. $P$ is equidistant from the sides of $\triangle ABC$. (Definition of equidistant)

Would you like me to place these into the proof structure or provide further explanation for each step? Additionally:
