Problem

Let be the circumcenter of triangle . the circumcenters of triangles respectively. Prove that, the lines intersect in same point.

(proposed by M. Batbileg)

problem
Solution
Denote , , . From well known property we have: . In another way: here If we observe that , so by easy calculation we get following:

(here because of is circumcenter of ) By similar way, we can get and

From (1), (2) and (3) we getting that

Then by Menelaus' theorem the lines passing same point.
