Let be a convex quadrilateral in which sides and are not parallel. Suppose that the two circles with diameters and meet at two points inside the quadrilateral . From , drop perpendiculars to the lines and respectively, obtaining three feet of perpendicular and . Let the circle denote the circle passing through the three points and . Similarly, let the circle denote the circle passing through the three feet of perpendicular obtained by dropping perpendiculars from to the three sides and respectively. Prove that the midpoint of segment lies on the line joining the two intersection points of circles and .
Solution
(1) Let denote respectively the feet of the perpendiculars from to . Note that are concyclic, so . Similarly, .
Therefore, (since lies on the circle with diameter .) Similarly, , hence , so all lie on . By symmetry, the four feet of perpendicular from to the four sides of also all lie on .
(2) Extend and to meet at ; without loss of generality, assume lies on segment . We show below that is acute.
If not, then the circle with diameter would contain , and hence would contain the entire quadrilateral , so that could not lie inside the quadrilateral , a contradiction. Therefore, is acute, and thus the line must meet segment at some point , and the line must also meet segment at some point .

(3) We next show that and also lie on . The proof is as follows.
Note that are concyclic, so by (1),
which shows that lies on the circle . Similarly, also lies on the circle .
(4) Analogous to (1) through (3), let denote respectively the feet of the perpendiculars from to and , and let . By the same reasoning, we know that both lie on .

(5) Now, let be the intersection point of and , and let be the intersection point of and . Note that are concyclic, so , and hence lies on the line joining the two intersection points of circles and . Similarly, also lies on the line joining the two intersection points of circles and .
(6) Finally, since is a parallelogram, the midpoint of lies on , and hence lies on the line joining the two intersection points of circles and . Q.E.D.
