Let be the circumcenter and be the orthocenter of an acute-angled triangle . Point is the midpoint of the segment . The perpendicular bisector of intersects the line at point .
Prove that the circumcircle of the triangle bisects the segment .
Solution
Denote the foot of the altitude from by and the midpoint of by . Since , the quadrilateral is cyclic. Thus it is enough to prove that the quadrilateral is cyclic. Let be the reflection of about . It is well known that lies on the circumcircle of . The segment is the midline of the triangle , so . The segment is the midline of the triangle , so . Clearly , hence is an isosceles trapezium, which is always cyclic.
