We will calculate ∠O1EA. Since triangle O1ED is isosceles with apex O1 and since AEFD is a cyclic quadrilateral, we have
∠O1EA=∠O1ED−∠AED=90∘−21∠EO1D−∠AFD.
Furthermore,
21∠EO1D=∠ESD central angle-circumference angle theorem on Γ1=∠CSD−∠CSE=∠CSD−∠CDE circumference angle theorem in cyclic quadrilateral CSDE=∠FCD−∠SDC−∠CDE exterior angle theorem in △CSD=∠FCD−∠SDE=∠FCD−∠ADE=∠FCD−∠AFE. circumference angle theorem in cyclic quadrilateral AEFD
From this, together with (7), we get
∠O1EA=90∘−∠FCD+∠AFE−∠AFD
The line O1O2 is perpendicular to CD and bisects the segment CD, so it is the perpendicular bisector of CD. Therefore, F lies on the perpendicular bisector of CD, which implies that triangle CDF is isosceles with apex F. Thus,
∠FCD=90∘−21∠CFD=90∘−∠AFD.
Combined with (8), this gives
∠O1EA=∠AFD+∠AFE−∠AFD=∠AFE
Now, by the tangent-circumference angle theorem on Γ3, it follows that O1E is tangent to Γ3.
