Question -

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



Answer -

Consider aΔABC.

Two circles are drawn while taking AB and AC as thediameter.

Let they intersect each other at D and let D not lie onBC.

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, ourassumption was wrong.

Thus, Point D lies on third side BC of ΔABC.
