In triangle let be the -excenter. Let be an arbitrary circle that passes through and and intersects the extensions of sides and (extended from and ) at and , respectively. Let and be points on segments and , respectively, such that and . Suppose that lines and intersect at , and lines and intersect at . Prove that are collinear.
Solution
Clearly, is a point on , since is angle bisector of both angles and . Note that
And since , we get . Therefore is also the reflection of over . For quadrilateral we have
Therefore, is cyclic. Now since , we get and similarly, are cyclic. This means is the Miquel point of the complete quadrilateral .

Let and be the circumcircles of triangles and , respectively. The point has the same Simson line with respect to each of these two triangles, and since and are the reflections of in and , respectively, line is homothetic with the Simson line of , with center and radius 2. So the problem is to prove that the Simson line of with respect to and passes through the midpoint of .
It is well-known that the Simson line of any point lying on the circumcircle of some triangle , passes through the midpoint of where is the orthocenter of . So according to this fact, the Simson line of passes through the midpoint of and where and are orthocenters of triangles and , respectively. Now, it is sufficient to show that lies on . Consider two circles and with diameters and , respectively. Let be the foot of the perpendicular line from to . We know that . Also let be the foot of the perpendicular line from to . Similarly . Note that is a point on the radical axis of and , and since , we get , where is the power of point with respect to circle . Therefore and similarly lie on the radical axis of and . So the line passing through , and , is the radical axis of and and hence the claim of the problem. ■
