(1) Note that a is the radical axis of Ω and Ω1, x is the radical axis of Ω and ω, and B0C0 is the radical axis of Ω1 and ω. Based on the fact that the three radical axes determined by three circles are concurrent, we obtain: the three lines a,x and B0C0 are concurrent.
(2) Let O be the circumcenter of △ABC, A0 be the midpoint of BC, and Q be the foot of the perpendicular from A0 to B0C0. Note that ∠WAO=∠WQO=∠WXO=90∘, so the five points A,W,X,O,Q are concyclic. Furthermore, note that reflection about B0C0 maps A to D, and reflection about OW maps A to X. Therefore,
∠WQD=∠WQA=∠WXA=∠WAX=∠WQX.
Therefore the three points Q,D,X are collinear.
Finally, note that the spiral similarity (homothety-rotation) centered at the centroid G, with ratio 1:2 and rotation angle 180∘, maps △ABC to △A0B0C0, and simultaneously maps AD to A0Q.
Hence the three points D,G,Q are collinear, and thus the three points D,G,X are collinear. This completes the proof.
