ABCD is cyclic quadrilateral, line AB and DC intersect in the point F and lines AD and BC intersect in the point E. Show that the circumcircles of triangle BCF and triangle CDE intersect in a point G on the line EF. ​

  • Given,
  • ∠ FBC = 90°  (angle in a semi-circle is 90°)
  • Similarly, ∠ FGC = 90°
  • ∴ ∠ FBC + ∠ FGC = 90° + 90° = 180°
  • Therefore, FBCG is a cyclic quadrilateral
  • Similarly,
  • ∠ EDC = 90°  (angle in a semi-circle is 90°)
  • Similarly, ∠ EGC = 90°
  • ∴ ∠ EDC + ∠ EGC = 90° + 90° = 180°
  • Therefore, DEGC is a cyclic quadrilateral
  • From above equations, we have,
  • ∠ FGC + ∠ EGC = 180° - ∠ FBE + 180° - ∠ EDF
  • = ∠ ABE + ∠ ADF (linear pair)
  • = 180°  (as ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral)
  • Hence, FGE is a straight line
