Problem
Let be a cyclic quadrilateral whose sides and are not parallel. Let be a point inside the circumcircle of which is on the opposite side of the line with respect to the point . The lines and meet at . Let be a point inside and also on the line which is tangent to the circumcircle of triangle at . If then show that the lines , and are concurrent.
Solution
Let the lines and meet at a point . Let , . By angle chasing, we have . Therefore, the points , , , are concyclic. We also get . Let . We obtain that . Using the condition given, we get . Hence, . Hence, we conclude that the points , , , are concyclic. The line is the radical axis of the circles , . The line is the radical axis of the circles , . The line is the radical axis of the circles and . Therefore, these three lines should be concurrent.
