Let the circle touches the side AB at P and side AC at Q and side BC at R
We know that Tangents drawn from external points are equal.
Then we have Tangents from point A i.e AP = AQ ,
Tangents from point B gives BP = BR ,
Tangents from point C gives RC = CQ.
We have AB=AC
⇒ AP+PB=AQ +QC as AP= AQ
⇒ PB = QC
⇒ BR = RC
This gives that BC is bisected at point of contact.
