Let be the circumcircle of the acute triangle with . Let be the reflection of the line over the line . The line intersects the circle at and . The tangent to at intersects the line at . Let be the reflection of the point over the point . The line intersects the circle at and . Prove that the lines and are parallel.
Solution
By the tangent-chord angle theorem we have . Since is the reflection of the line over the line , we have . The points are concyclic, so . Hence, , and the line is parallel to the line .
We would like to show that the line is also parallel to . Using the tangent-chord angle theorem one more time we see that . Also, , so the triangles and are similar, having two congruent angles. This implies that . Since is the reflection of the point over the point , we have . So, , or . We also have , so the triangles and are similar as well. This implies that and the line is parallel to .
