Problem Statement
Let be an acute triangle with it's circumscribed circle and be the midpoints of respectively. With diameters the sides , we draw semicircles, outer of the triangle, which are intersected by line at points and respectively. Lines and intersect the circumscribed circle at points respectively. Lines and intersect at point . Prove that:
a) point lies on the circumcircle of triangle
b) lines and are perpedicular and their intersection, let it be , is the circimcenter of triangle
