In triangle , . Let points , be respectively the circumcenter and orthocenter of . Take a point on segment , and take a point on line such that lies between and , with . Find
Solution
Take point on segment such that . Draw segments , , , etc.
Since is the circumcenter of , we have . Also, since is the orthocenter of , we have . Therefore , so , , , are concyclic. It follows that .
Note that and , together with , so and are congruent. Thus and
is an isosceles triangle with base of the form , so
. Since and , we know . Therefore
