Solution
Since is the midpoint of the arc , the diameter of the circumcircle passing through is perpendicular to the chord . So, is a perpendicular bisector of the segment . Therefore, and .
By condition, , then . Hence, .
The points , , , and are concyclic since the angles and subtend the same segment and lie in the same half-plane with respect to the line .
By condition, , then . Hence, .
