Concyclicity

\triangle{ABC} is a triangle and CD is its cevian. Draw perpendicular lines to AC, CD, BC in A, D, B, respectively, such that they intersect at E, F, G. (See image)



Then CEFG is cyclic.


Proof:



Since \angle{CDG} = \angle{CBG} = 90^\circ, then CBDG is cyclic. Also, \angle{CAF} = \angle{CBF} = 90^\circ, then ABCF is cyclic. Note that chord CD is subtended both angles \angle{CBD}, \angle{CGD} so \angle{CBD} = \angle{CGD}. Analogously, chord AC is subtended by both angles, \angle{CBD}, \angle{AFC} so \angle{CBD} = \angle{AFC}then it follows that \angle{AFC} = \angle{CGD}. Note that CE is subtended by both \angle{AFC} and \angle{CGD}, hence CEFG is cyclic.
