Points and are fixed on the circle . Denote by the midpoint of . Let be a variable point on , and be the orthocenter of triangle . The perpendicular from to , intersects lines and at points and , respectively. Prove that as point moving on , the orthocenter of triangle would also be moving on a circle.
Solution
Let be the center of , and be the orthocenter of triangle . Denote the intersection of and as . It is evident that quadrilateral is a parallelogram, so . This result shows that is a fixed point. If we prove is constant, it follows that with the movement of on , moves on a circle such that is the homothety center between the two circles.
Lemma 1. In triangle with orthocenter , we have .
Proof. If we let be the circumcenter of triangle and be the midpoint of , we know that . Additionally, where is the radius of the circumcircle of triangle . Therefore, according to the Law of Sines,
the result follows.
Since is a parallelogram, we can write . According to the above lemma, we also have . Since is constant, it suffices to show that is constant.

In the following we will use directed angles modulo denoted as . Let be the antipodal of with respect to . As is a parallelogram, is the midpoint of . Note that . So is cyclic which results in . Analogously, which means is an isosceles triangle and is the midpoint of . At last we can write:
which is constant and the claim is proven. ■
