Let , and be the midpoints of the sides , and , respectively, and let be the circumcenter of the acute triangle . The circumcircles of triangles and intersect at two distinct points and inside triangle . Prove that
Solution
Solution:
Denote by and the circles and , respectively. The circle is the Euler circle of and passes through the feet of the altitudes , from , and the midpoint of the segment , where is the orthocenter of .
Let us show that the second intersection point of the line and the circle lies on the Euler circle of triangle . We shall consider the case where

is between and ; the proof in the other case is analogous. Let and be, respectively, the midpoints of the segments and . Since , the points , , , are concyclic, so .
Analogously , so . From this it follows that lies on .
Since is the circumcenter of , the similarity transformation that maps to also maps to and to , so the image of the point is the point . Therefore, .
