Problem

Draw median and bisector of a scalene triangle . Tangent lines of circumcircle of the triangle at points , intersect at point and line intersects the circumcircle at point which is different from . The line intersects circumcircle of the triangle at point . Prove that , where is orthocenter of the triangle .

problem
Solution


Note that , are sim medians of triangles , respectively. Therefore we get . Since angle bisector and quadrilateral is inscribed in a circle, and from this follows . Since , we get . On the other hand . The fact that quadrilateral implies . Hence quadrilateral can be inscribed in a circle and it implies . The proof completed.
