Prove that the point symmetric to point w.r.t. point lies on the circumcircle of the triangle .
Solutions — 2
Solution 1
Let the line intersect the circumcircle of the triangle a second time at point ; by the assumptions, (see figure below).

We show that . As the quadrilateral is cyclic, and . Thus the triangles , and are similar. Hence , implying .
By similarity of the triangles and , we obtain , which implies . By similarity of the triangles and we analogously get . Hence the triangles and are similar. Consequently, , which implies .
Altogether, we have proven , which implies the desired result.
Solution 2
Let the line intersect the circumcircle of the triangle a second time at point ; by the assumptions, . We show that .
Let be the circumcenter of the triangle . Let the line intersect the circumcircle of the triangle a second time at point (see figure below).

By the equality , the arcs and of the circumcircle of the triangle are equal.
By the conditions of the problem, . Hence point lies on the circumcircle of the triangle . Since , the arcs and of the circumcircle of the triangle are equal.
Consequently, is a diameter of the circumcircle of the triangle . If then, by Thales' theorem, . Thus , which implies since a radius perpendicular to a chord bisects the chord. If (see figure below) then is a diameter of the circumcircle of the triangle , obviously bisected by the center .
