solution 1
Let the perpendicular bisector of meet at point , those two lines meet at at respectively.
As the problem states, denote that . We can express another triple with as well. Since the perpendicular line of meets at point , , which means that points are concyclic since
Similarly, points are concyclic as well, which means five points are concyclic.,
Moreover, since , so the angle bisector if the angle must be the perpendicular line of , so as the angle bisector of , which means those three lines must be concurrent at the circumcenter of the circle containing five points as desired

Solution 2 (Three perpendicular bisectors)
The essence of the proof is the replacement of the bisectors of angles by the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the cyclic pentagon.
Let be the circumcenter of is the perpendicular bisector of and point lies on Then
is cyclic. the bisector of the is the perpendicular bisector of the side of the cyclic that passes through the center
A similar reasoning can be done for the perpendicular bisector of
