Problem

is a circle with diameter . Points lie on such that are on different sides of . A line passing through and parallel to cuts at , and a line passing through and parallel to cuts at . and are in a way that are inside . The line passing through and perpendicular to cuts at and the line passing through and perpendicular to cuts at . Prove that the perimeter of triangle equals to .

problem
Solution
Let be the intersection point of , and be the intersection point of , .



Then, since is a cyclic quadrilateral, we have Similarly, . By Thales's theorem, we have . Therefore Which completes the proof.
