Solution
Proof. As shown in the following picture, let the extensions of and intersect the circle passing through , , , at points and , respectively. Connect and . Considering the given conditions, we have and .

Thus, and . So we have Since , , , are concyclic, by the Power of a Point theorem, we have Multiplying the two equations above, we get , which implies .
