Problem 6
Let be a convex hexagon satisfying
,
,
, and
Let
,
, and
be the midpoints of
,
, and
. Prove that the circumcenter of
, the circumcenter of
, and the orthocenter of
are collinear.
Solution
We construct two equal triangles, prove that triangle is the medial triangle of both this triangles, use property of medial triangle and prove that circumcenters of constructed triangles coincide with given circumcenters.
Denote
Then
Denote
Symilarly we get
and the translation vector is
so is midpoint of
and
Symilarly
is the midpoint of
and
is the midpoint of
and
is the midpoint of
Symilarly
is the midpoint of
is the midpoint of
so
is the medial triangle of
translated on
It is known (see diagram) that circumcenter of triangle coincite with orthocenter of the medial triangle. Therefore orthocenter
of
is circumcenter of
translated on
It is the midpoint of segment
connected circumcenters of
and
According to the definition of points and
are parallelograms
Power of points A,C, and E with respect circumcircle \triangle A'C'E' is equal, hence distances between these points and circumcenter of \triangle A'C'E' are the same \implies circumcenters of constructed triangles coincide with given circumcenters.
