Draw diameter FK of circle O’ . Connect KA and KB KA perpen to FA , KB perpen to FB From G &H draw GA’//KA and HB’//KB ( see picture) . GA’ cut FK at N Note that GA’ perpen to FA , HB’ perpen to FB
1. Triangle FAG congruence to FBH (case AA) Let FG/FA=FH/FB= k and m(HFB)=m(GFA)=x So FA’/FA= FG/FA . cos(x)= k.cos(x)= FN/FK And FB’/FB=FH/FB. cos(x)= k.cos(x) =FA’/FA=FN/FK So GA’ and HB’ will intersect at point N on FK (properties of // lines and congruence triangles)
2. In triangle GHN, HA’ and GB’ are altitudes and F will be the orthocenter of triangle GHN so O’F perpen To GH With the same reason as part 1, OC will perpen to ED and L will be the orthocenter of triangle C’MF’ And ML will perpen to C’F’ Peter Tran
Join BA and extend it. Draw tangent at F to circle (O’) to meet BA extended at X. Let tangent XF be extended to meet C’F’ at Y. ∠YFB = ∠FAB (angle in the alternate segment). = ∠HAB = ∠HGB (angles in the same segment). ∴ XY ∥ MH. In turn this implies F’O’F ⊥ MH. By a similar argument C’OC ⊥ MD. ∴ L is the orthocenter of ∆ MC’F’ and Hence ML ⊥ C’F’

ReplyDeleteDraw tangent at F to circle (O’) to meet BA extended at X.
Let tangent XF be extended to meet C’F’ at Y.
∠YFB = ∠FAB (angle in the alternate segment).
= ∠HAB = ∠HGB (angles in the same segment).
∴ XY ∥ MH.
In turn this implies F’O’F ⊥ MH.
By a similar argument C’OC ⊥ MD.
∴ L is the orthocenter of ∆ MC’F’ and
Hence ML ⊥ C’F’
Very good solution Pravin !

Let CC’ meet circle O at P and DE at Q. Let F’F meet HG at R.
ReplyDelete< EDA = < CBA = < CPA, hence APDQ is concyclic and so < PQF’ = < PAC = 90.
Similarly we can show that < C’RF = 90
Hence L is the orthocenter of Triangle MC’F’ and so ML is perpendicular to C’F’
