The tangent at A to the circumcircle ABC meets the line BC at the point A′′; the points B′′ and C′′ are defined similarly. The points A′′, B′′ and C′′ are collinear on Lemoine's line. We shall prove that the lines AA′, BB′ and CC′ are the polars of the points A′′, B′′ and C′′, respectively, relative to the nine-point circle γ, so they are indeed concurrent. Clearly, it is sufficient to prove that that AA′ is the polar of A′′ with respect to γ.
Let A1,B1 and C1 be the perpendicular feet dropped from A,B and C, respectively, on the lines BC,CA and AB, respectively. Let further A2 be the midpoint of the side BC, and let A3 be the midpoint of the segment joining A to the orthocenter of the triangle ABC. It is easily seen that the line A2A3 is the perpendicular bisector of the segment B1C1, so it is perpendicular to the tangent at A to the circumcircle ABC. Consequently, A3 is the orthocenter of the triangle AA′′A2, so the lines AA2 and A′′A3 are perpendicular; it is easily seen that they meet at some point on γ, so A′′ lies on the polar of A with respect to γ. Finally, A′′ lies on BC, which is the polar of A′ with respect to γ, so A′′ is the pole of AA′ with respect to γ.
