Problem 3

There are given two intersecting lines g1,g2g_1,g_2 and a point PP in their plane such that ∠(g1,g2)≠90∘\angle(g1,g2)\ne90^\circ . Its symmetrical points on any point MM in the same plane with respect to the given lines are M1M_1 and M2M_2 . Prove that:

(a) the locus of the point MM for which the points M1,M2M_1,M_2 and PP lie on a common line is a circle kk passing through the intersection point of g1g_1 and g2g_2 . (b) the point PP is an orthocenter of a triangle, inscribed in the circle kk whose sides lie at the lines g1g_1 and g2g_2 .

Problem 4

Let a1,b1,c1a_1,b_1,c_1 are three lines each two of them are mutually crossed and aren't parallel to some plane. The lines a2,b2,c2a_2,b_2,c_2 intersect the lines a1,b1,c1a_1,b_1,c_1 at the points a2a_2 in AA , C2C_2 , B1B_1 ; b2b_2 in C1C_1 , BB , A2A_2 ; c2c_2 in B2B_2 , A1A_1 , CC respectively in such a way that AA is the perpendicular bisector of B1C2B_1C_2 , BB is the perpendicular bisector of C1A2C_1A_2 and CC is the perpendicular bisector of A1B2A_1B_2 . Prove that:

(a) AA is the perpendicular bisector of B2C1B_2C_1 , BB is the perpendicular bisector of C2A1C_2A_1 and CC is the perpendicular bisector of A2B1A_2B_1 ; (b) triangles A1B1C1A_1B_1C_1 and A2B2C2A_2B_2C_2 are the same.
