Given is a triangle

\triangle{ABC}

,with

AB<AC<BC

,inscribed in circle

c(O,R)

.Let

D,E,Z

be the midpoints of

BC,CA,AB

respectively,and

K

the foot of the altitude from

A

.At the exterior of

\triangle{ABC}

and with the sides

AB,AC

as diameters,we construct the semicircles

c_1,c_2

respectively.Suppose that

P\equiv DZ\cap c_1 \ , \ S\equiv KZ\cap c_1

and

R\equiv DE\cap c_2 \ , \ T\equiv KE\cap c_2

.Finally,let

M

be the intersection of the lines

PS,RT

.
i. Prove that the lines

PR,ST

intersect at

A

.
ii. Prove that the lines

PR\cap MD

intersect on

c

.
