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


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
