Problem
Let be the midpoint of the side of acute triangle and be the orthocenter of . Prove that if is base of perpendicular dropped from the vertex to the line , then the intersection point of bisectors of the angles , lies on the line .

Solution
Let , be altitudes. Then points , , lie on the circle with diameter . Since , points , , , are cyclic. Thus we have .
Similarly, we conclude that . Since , we get . Bisector of the angle is from where follows and the fact that is bisector of the angle implies .
