Let be a cyclic quadrilateral whose diagonals and meet at . The extensions of the sides and beyond and meet at . Let be the point such that is a parallelogram, and let be the image of under reflection in . Prove that , , , are concyclic.
Solution
We show first that the triangles and are similar. Since is cyclic, the triangles and are similar, as well as and . The parallelogram yields and ; also by inscribed angles. Therefore
It follows that and are similar, and so .
Since is the reflection of with respect to , we conclude that
This proves that , , , are concyclic.
