Problem
As shown in the figure, points and are in the interior of a triangle , point lies on the side . It is known that points , , , are concyclic, and , . Prove that .


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 .
