In a right triangle with right angle on the sides , and points and correspondingly were chosen so that and . Prove that . (Mykhailo Shtandenko)

Solution
Consider the point , symmetric to the point with respect to point (fig. 13). Then , and , so points lie on the same line. Then from the statement it follows, that Fig. 13 so points are concyclic. Therefore As , and , the equality above is rewritten as . From this in it follows that .
