Problem Statement

As shown in figure , it is known that MM is the midpoint of side BCBC of ABC\vartriangle ABC. O\odot O passes through points A,CA, C and is tangent to AMAM. The extension of the segment BABA intersects O\odot O at point DD. The lines CDCD and MAMA intersect at the point PP. Prove that POBCPO \perp BC. https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/8/a/da3570ec7eb0833c7a396e22ffac2bd8902186.png
