Problem

An acute-angled triangle is given with the circumcircle . The points on , on and on are selected so that . Prove that the lines and intersect at one point.

problem
Fig. 12
Solution
Let be the point diametrically opposite to in , and let be the projection of onto (fig. 12). Since , the line passes through . Lines and also pass through . Since the quadrilaterals and are inscribed in circles with diameters and respectively, we have , so the quadrilateral is cyclic. Then the lines , and intersect in the radial center of the circumscribed circles of the quadrilaterals , and
