Solution 1

We have since is parallel to . But also is a right angle triangle. Thus, if is the midpoint of , then which implies . Thus, is the midpoint of .
If is the circumcenter of , then
Thus, we get as desired.
Solution 2
( acute case) Let be the circumcenter of , be the circumcenter of and be the circumcircle of .
First, show that is the midpoint of as in Solution 1. Next, we show that lies on . This follows from
Now, is the midpoint of and is the midpoint of , therefore the homothety at with ratio takes to . Thus, it takes , the circumcenter of , to the circumcenter of , thus proving that the midpoint of is the center of . This immediately implies that lies on .
