Problem

Let be a triangle inscribed in the circle . The bisector of cuts the circle again at . Let be the diameter of . Let be a point on which does not contain . The lines and intersect at . Let be a point on the line such that . Prove that the circumcircle of triangle passes through the orthocenter of triangle .

problem
Solution
Let cut at . We have so is cyclic, we deduce so is cyclic.



Easily seen is perpendicular bisector of so . Hence is bisector of . From this, Now let be orthocenter of triangle then so lies on .
