Question

If circles are drawn taking two sides of a triangle as diameters, prove that the point intersection of these circles lie on the third side.

Solution


Consider a ΔABC
Two circles are drawn while taking AB and AC as the diameter.
Let they intersect each other at D and let D not lie on BC.
Join AD.
ADB=90 (Angle subtended by semi - circle)
ADC=90 (Angle subtended by semi - circle)
BDC=ADB+ADC=90+90=180
Therefore, BDC is a straight line and hence, our assumption was wrong.
Thus, point D lies on third side BC of ΔABC .
