==Problem 1

\text {In} triangle ABC with $CA=CB$, \text{point E lies on the circumcircle of} \text{triangle ABC such that} $\angle ECB=90^\circ$. \text{The line through E parallel to CB intersect CA in F} \text{and AB in G}.\text{Prove that}\\ \text{the centre of the circumcircle of} triangle EGB \text{lies on the circumcircle of triangle ECF.}

Observe: \[\angle CAB=\angle CBA=\angle EGA\] \[\angle ECB=\angle CEG=\angle EAB= 90^\circ\] \text{Notice that} \[\angle CBA = \angle FGA\] because $CB \parallel EG$} \implies $\angle FAG =\angle FGA$

\:\text{or} \:$FA= FG$.\\

\text{Here F is the circumcentre of \traingle EAG becuase F lies on the Perpendicular bisector of AG.}\\\\ \implies \text{$F$ is the midpoint of $EG$} \implies \text{$FP$ is the perpendicular bisector of $EG$.}\\ \text{This gives} \:\[\angle EFP =90^\circ\].\\ \text{And because}\[\angle EFP+\angle ECP=180^\circ\]. \:\text{Points E,F,P,C are concyclic.}\\ \text{Hence proven that the centre of the circumcircle of $\triangle EGB$ lies on the circumcircle of $\triangle ECF$.}
