Problem:
Let , and be the altitudes of . A line passing through and parallel to intersects the line at the point . If is the orthocenter of , find the angle .
Solutions — 2
Solution 1
Solution:
We can see easily that points , , , lie on a circle of diameter .
Take . We have since the quadrilaterals , , are cyclic. Hence is the bisector of , so is the midpoint of the arc . It follows that since is a diameter. Therefore and . Finally lies on the circle , so .

Solution 2
Solution:
The quadrilateral is cyclic since , so .
But , hence . Therefore is cyclic.
Because the quadrilateral is cyclic since , we conclude that the quadrilateral is cyclic, which gives that .
