Observe that
ReplyDelete(1) ∠HAD = ∠DJB
(2) ∠HDA = ∠CDA + ∠HDC = ∠AED + ∠DBJ = ∠ABJ
So ∆HAD~∆HJB, with power of cirlce, H-D-J collinear.
Hence,
∠HJB = ∠DJB = ∠FAB = ∠FCB
by the converse of ext.∠ of cylic quad, Q.E.D.
Can you explain why ∠HDC = ∠DBJ? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSorry i miss a small step in my previous solution,
DeleteExtend CD to point X, X is on the other side of C,
∠HDC = ∠JDX = ∠DEJ = ∠DBJ
Note to William Fung
DeleteYour statement ∠HDC = ∠JDX is true only if H, D, J are collinear.

Thanks for your correction

ReplyDeleteLet HD cut circle O1 at J’
Since H is on radical line AB of circles O and O1
So We have HC.HF=HA.HB=HD.HJ’ => F,C,D,J’ is cocyclic
∠(CFJ’) supplement to ∠(CDJ’)
∠(CDJ’) supplement to ∠(HDC) and ∠(HDC)= ∠(DEJ’)
So ∠(DEJ’)= ∠(CFJ) => G,F,E,J’ is cocyclic => J’ coincide to J
The rest of my solution is similar to W. Fung solution
It seems that the past few problems could give enough hints on how to solve #738. Any thoughts?
