Solution
Let be the midpoint of . Note that is midline in triangles and , hence lies on . Analogously lies on .

Let be a circle with center and radius and be a circle with center and radius . Distance of from center of is the same as distance of from center of and also and have radius of same size, hence power of with respect to is the same as power of with respect to , so Using homotheties centered at we get that and thus points lie on a circle.
