An acute-angled triangle is given, such that . Let be the centre of the circumcircle, and let be a diameter of the circumcircle of triangle . The line parallel to passing through intersects the line at , while the line parallel to and passing through intersects the line at . Denote by the intersection of and .
Show that lies on the circumcircle of triangle .
(Ukraine 2005)
Solution
Let the line intersect the circumcircle of at point and . Notice that is a diameter of this circle, so .
Let be the midpoint of the segment . Since is the centre of the circumcircle of , we have .
From here, we get , which implies that the quadrilateral is cyclic.

Notice that point lies on the line (moreover, is the midpoint of ) because is a parallelogram. Thus,
As in the previous solution, we show that the quadrilateral is cyclic and that the points and are collinear. This implies , which concludes the proof.
