Two circles and intersect at two distinct points and . Let be a point on . The tangent at to meets at the points and , where lies between and , and is a convex quadrilateral. The lines and meet again at and respectively. The lines and meet again at and respectively. Suppose the points lie on in this order. Prove that are parallel.
Solution
Since
we get . Similarly, since
we get .
