Problem
Let be a triangle, and its circumcenter. The circumcircle of triangle shall intersect the segment in points and and the segment in points and . Prove that triangles and have equal circumradii.

Solution
In the circumcircle of triangle we have . In the circumcircle of we therefore have . The angle is an external angle in triangle , and we therefore obtain , and thus . In the circumcircle of we obtain on the chord . The angles are equal in the circumcircle of triangle on the same chord . Since the chords and subtended angles are equal in both circles, they must have the same radii, as claimed.
