Concyclicity (Proposed by Dao Thanh Oai)



B, D, C are collinear. A is another point on the plane. Draw AB, AD, AC, as in the figure. Rotate AB, AD, AC from B, D, C (couter clockwise or clockwise) the same angle. \angle{EBA} = \angle{EDA} = \angle{FCA}. BE meets CF in F; DE meets CF in G; BE meets DE in E.

Prove that AEFG is cyclic.




Proof:




\angle{EBA} = \angle{EDA} = \angle{FCA}. The chord EA is subtended by both angles \angle{EBA}, \angle{EDA}, so ABDE is cyclic. Also, chord AF is subtended by both angles \angle{FBA}, \angle{FCA}, so ABCF is cyclic. Chord AD is subtended by both angles \angle{AED}, \angle{ABD}. As ABDE is cyclic \angle{AED} = \angle{ABD}. Chord AC is subtended by both angles \angle{AFC}, \angle{ABC}. As ABCF is cyclic \angle{AFC} = \angle{ABC}. Hence \angle{AEG} = \angle{AFG}. Indeed because the chord AG is subtended by both angles \angle{AEG}, \angle{AFG}. Of course, this implies AEFG is cyclic.
