Problem

Let and be points on side , a point on side , and a point on side of triangle . These points are chosen such that and . Suppose that the segments and intersect at point inside triangle . The circumcircle of triangle intersects the line again at point , and the circumcircle of triangle intersects the line again at point . Prove that the points , and lie on the same circle.
Solution
Since , we have , so quadrilateral is cyclic. Hence we have, , and since is cyclic, we have .

Combining the two, we get , so quadrilateral is cyclic. Hence, Similarly, we can show that , which implies that , and lie on a common circle.
