Problem

In a convex quadrilateral we have that: and are points in the interior of the segments and respectively, with and . and are the midpoints of and respectively. * is the midpoint of . If it is known that , prove that is a cyclic quadrilateral.

problem
Solution
Let and be points in the prolongations of and such that and , as in the picture. Note that is the midpoint of . Then, is a midsegment of the triangle , which implies that . Since the triangle is isosceles, we have that , and then, (external angle). Similarly, . Thus, and, therefore, the quadrilateral is cyclic.
