Solution
Since , points and lie on circle .
We observe that: so quadrilateral is cyclic; denote its circumcircle by . Similarly, we get that is cyclic; denote its circumcircle by . Now consider the radical axes of these three circles:
- The radical axis of and is line . - The radical axis of and is line . - The radical axis of and is line .
By the Radical Axis Theorem, these three radical axes are concurrent. Therefore, the lines , , and meet at a single point.
