Problem

Let ABC be a triangle and consider a circle with diameter AC and center D (midpoint of AC)

Construct the tangents of B to the circle (E and F). Suppose that B should be outside of. Let G be the
projection of B on AC. Show that FGA and EFG are equals.

Solution

Note that BEDGF are on the circle with diameter BD

̂ =𝐵𝐹
And BE=BF and therefore 𝐵𝐸 ̂ So angles BGE and BGF are equal . Thus the conclusion.

Problem

Let ABC be a triangle with D the midpoint of AC Let E be any point in segment AC.

Construct circles with diameter AE an EC. And let BE intersect These two circles at H and F.

Show that DH=DF

Solution

1
We know that AHE is a right triangle at H, and EFC at C .

Let G be the intersection of lines FC and DH .

From AHE=EFC=90 AH // FC
𝐴𝐷 𝐷𝐻
We consider the homothety of center D taking A to C and H to G. So = =1
𝐷𝐶 𝐷𝐺

Since HFG is right triangle at F and D the midpoint of HG, D is the center of the circle passing through H F and G

And therefore DH=DF

Problem

Solution

Let G the intersection of A1C1 and BC

Clearly, we have BC1 = BA1 and OC1 = OA1 So we need to show that DC1 = DA1

4
We have by angle chasing B1C1D=C1GB=C1GA2

In other hand A1A2G=A1A2C=A1B2C=A1C1B1

We have DC1A1=DC1B1-A1C1B1 and in triangle G A1A2 , A2 A1G= C1GA2- A1A2G= B1C1D- A1C1B1= DC1A1.

And Therefore DC1 = DA1

Thus the conclusion
