Let S(B, k, θ) be the homothetic rotation transformation,
ReplyDeletecentered at B, such that O₁→O₂, C₁→C₂, D₁→D₂, E₁→E₂.
By Problem 948, BC₁FC₂ are concyclic with circumcenter O₃.
Thus, ∠O₁O₃B = 1/2 ∠C₁O₃B = ∠C₁C₂B = ∠O₁O₂B.
Hence, O₁BO₂O₃ are concyclic.
By similar argument, O₁BO₂O₄ and O₁BO₂O₅ are concyclic.
Hence, O₁BO₂O₃O₄O₅ are concyclic.

ReplyDelete1. Observe that ∠ (C1BC2)= ∠ (D1BD2)= ∠ (E1BE2)= ∠ (O1BO2)
2. Since O2O3 and O1O3 are perpendicular bisectors of BC2 and BC1 so ∠ (O1O3O2) supplement to ∠ (C1BC2)
And ∠ (O1O3O2) supplement to ∠ (O1BO2) …..(See blue color)
So O1, O2, B , O3 are concyclic
Similarly ∠ (O1O4O2) supplement to ∠ (O1BO2)… ( see red color)
And ∠ (O1O5O2) supplement to ∠ (O1BO2)… ( see green color)
So O1, B, O2, O3,O4,O5 are concyclic
<BE1A=<BD1A=<BC1A. But
ReplyDelete<BE1A=<BO1O2 (in circle O1 and O1O2 perpendicular to AB),
<BE1E2=<BO5O2 (in circle O5 and O5O2 perpendicular to BE2),
<BD1D2=<BO4O2 (in circle O4 and O4O2 perpendicular to BD2)
and BC1C2=<BO3O2 (in circle O3 and O3O2 perpendicular to BC2),
so <BO1O2=<BO5O2=<BO4O2=<BO3O2
Problem 950
ReplyDeleteIn complete quadrilateral FC_1AD_2 D_1 C_2 the centers O_1,O_2,O_3,O_4 and the point B (Miquel ) they belong to the same circle of the Miquel.
Also in complete quadrilateral GD_1AE_2 E_1 D_2 the centers O_1,O_2,O_5 and the point B (Miquel) they belong to the same circle of the Miquel.
Therefore the points O_1,O_2,O_3,O_4,O_(5,)B are concyclic.
