Problem
Let be the midpoint of side of triangle . Let be a point inside triangle such that . The line intersects side at point . Let be the foot of the perpendicular drawn from to line . If lies inside triangle and then prove that . (Khulan Tumenbayar)

Solution
Let , , and be the midpoints of segments , , and , respectively. Since is parallel to and is parallel to , we have .
Considering the parallelogram , . Moreover, since , we have , , , and lie on the same circle.
Since , we can conclude that . , , , , and all lie on the same circle, because .
Since , is parallel to . Consequently, we can deduce that .
