Answer:
Two circles are drawn on the sides AB and AC of the triangle
ABC as diameters. The circles intersected at D.
Construction: AD is joined.
To prove: D lies on BC. We have to prove that BDC is a straight line.
Proof:
∠ADB=∠ADC=90° ...Angle in the semi circle
Now,
∠ADB+∠ADC=180°
⇒∠BDC is straight line.
Thus, D lies on the BC.

Answer:
We know that an angle in a semicircle is a right angle. By using this fact, we can show that BDC is a line that will lead to proving that the point of intersection lies on the third side. ⇒ BDC is a straight line. Hence, the point of intersection of circles lies on the third side BC.
