Problem 5

In convex cyclic quadrilateral $ABCD,$ we know that lines $AC$ and $BD$ intersect at $E,$ lines $AB$ and $CD$ intersect at $F,$ and lines $BC$ and $DA$ intersect at $G.$ Suppose that the circumcircle of $\triangle ABE$ intersects line $CB$ at $B$ and $P$, and the circumcircle of $\triangle ADE$ intersects line $CD$ at $D$ and $Q$, where $C,B,P,G$ and $C,Q,D,F$ are collinear in that order. Prove that if lines $FP$ and $GQ$ intersect at $M$, then $\angle MAC = 90^{\circ}.$

\begin{align*} &\mathrel{\phantom{=}}\angle DEQ+\angle AED+\angle AEP\\ &=\angle DAQ+\angle AQD+\angle AEP\\ &=180-\angle ADC+\angle AEP\\ &=180-\angle ADC+\angle ABP\\ &=\angle ABP+\angle ABC\\ &=180 \end{align*} so $P,E,Q$ are collinear. Furthermore, note that $DQBP$ is cyclic because: \[\angle EDQ = \angle BAE = BPE.\] Notice that since $A$ is the intersection of $(EDQ)$ and $(BPE)$, it is the Miquel point of $DQBP$.

Now define $X$ as the intersection of $BQ$ and $DP$. From Pappus's theorem on $BFPDGQ$ that $A,M,X$ are collinear. It’s a well known property of Miquel points that $\angle EAX = 90$, so it follows that $MA \perp AE$, as desired. $\blacksquare$ ~AopsUser101
