Problem
Let be a cyclic quadrilateral and let the midpoints of , , and be , , and , respectively. Let the reflections of the point with respect to the lines and be and , respectively. Finally the circumcenter of the triangle be . Prove that .
Solution
We start by noting that is a parallelogram, and by the symmetry we have and . Moreover, we have .
Since is cyclic, and we get that and from the symmetry we get and finally we obtain .
Combining this with the side equalities above we find and hence . Since is the circumcenter of the triangle we also have and hence which implies . We are done.
