ABC is an isosceles triangle with its base BC twice its altitude. A polnt P moves within the triangle such that the square of its distance from BC is half the rectangle contained by its distances from the two sides. Show that the locus of P is an ellipse with eccentricity `sqrt(2/3)` passing through B&C.
