Let be a cyclic quadrilateral. Show that the orthocentres of the triangles , , and are the vertices of a quadrilateral congruent to and show that the centroids of the same triangles are the vertices of a cyclic quadrilateral.
Solution
Let be the centre of . Let and be the orthocentres and centroids of , , and respectively. Let be the midpoint of . Recall that lies on , etc., with . Also, we have . From these, we know that , and
By symmetry, we have , , , and . Thus, is congruent to . It follows
that is concyclic. Now, note that is the image of under the homothety with centre and ratio . Therefore, is cyclic.
