The angle bisectors of triangle $ABC$ intersect the circumcircle of triangle $ABC$ at points $X, Y, Z$. If $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$ are the angles of triangle $ABC$, we want to prove that the angles of triangle $XYZ$ are $90^{\circ} - \frac{\alpha}{2}$, $90^{\circ} - \frac{\beta}{2}$, and $90^{\circ} - \frac{\gamma}{2}$.

2. Solution Steps
Let be the center of the circumcircle of triangle . Let be the points where the angle bisectors of angles intersect the circumcircle, respectively. We are given that , , and . Since is the angle bisector of angle , we have .
Since angles subtended by the same arc are equal, we have and .
The measure of arc is equal to twice the measure of the inscribed angle . Thus, arc . Similarly, arc .
Since is the angle bisector of angle , we have . Then arc and arc .
Since is the angle bisector of angle , we have . Then arc and arc .
Now consider the arcs that form the circumcircle: , , and .
