be the foot of the altitute from point
of

,
.
Note that reflection of over the 4 lines is
with a scale of
with center
. Thus, if
is cyclic, then the reflections are cyclic.
is right angle and so is
. Thus,
is cyclic with
being the diameter of the circumcircle.
Follow that, because they inscribe the same angle.
Similarly ,

Futhermore, .
Thus, and
