Problem
The altitudes , and are drawn in the acute triangle . The bisector of the angle intersects the segments and at and respectively. The bisector of the angle intersects the segments and at and respectively. The circumcircles of the triangles and intersect at and . Prove that .

Solution
Since , it is sufficient to prove that the points , , and lie on a circle. Since and are the bisectors of the angles and respectively, . Since , the point lies on the circumcircle of the triangle . Similarly, the point lies on the circumcircle of the triangle .
Therefore and . Hence . Together with , this leads to , which means that the quadrilateral is cyclic.
Therefore and . Hence . Together with , this leads to , which means that the quadrilateral is cyclic.
Therefore and . Hence . Together with , this leads to , which means that the quadrilateral is cyclic.
Therefore and . Hence . Together with , this leads to , which means that the quadrilateral is cyclic.
