Corrected QuestionQuestion $ABC$ is a triangle with $\angle BAC=90^{\circ}$ and $\angle ACB=30^{\circ}$. Let $M_1$ be the midpoint of $BC$. Let $W$ be a circle passing through $A$ tangent in $M_1$ to $BC$. Let $P$ be the circumcircle of $ABC$. $W$ is intersecting $AC$ in $N$ and $P$ in $M$. Prove that $MN$ is perpendicular to $BC$. SolutionSolution Let $M_1$ be the midpoint of $BC$. And let $C_1$ be the center of $W$. So, we first show that $C_1\in AC$. Clearly $C_1M_1\perp BC$. And also, since $M_1$ is the center of $P$ as $ABC$ is a right triangle, we have $M_1A=M_1B=M_1C$. So, $\angle M_1AB=\angle M_1BA=60^{\circ}$. And this implies that $\triangle AM_1B$ is equilateral. So, $\angle C_1M_1A=90^{\circ}-60^{\circ}=30^{\circ}=\angle C_1AM_1$. But then, $\angle C_1AM_1+\angle M_1AB=90^{\circ}=\angle C_1AB=\angle CAB$. This shows that $\boxed{C_1\in AC}$. Next $C_1N=C_1M_1$ and $\angle AC_1M_1=180^{\circ}-30^{\circ}-30^{\circ}=120^{\circ}=180^{\circ}-\angle NC_1M_1$, showing that $\triangle NC_1M_1$ is equilateral. Again, $C_1M=C_1A$ showing $\angle C_1AM=\angle C_1MA$. Now note that $AM$ is the radical axis of $P$ and $W$. So, $M_1C_1\perp AM$. Let $M_1C_1\cap AM=X$. Then, $AC_1X=60^{\circ}\Rightarrow NC_1M=180^{\circ}-\angle MC_1X-60^{\circ}=60^{\circ}$. But $C_1M=C_1N$. Thus $\angle MNC_1=\angle NC_1M\Rightarrow MN\parallel M_1C_1\Rightarrow \boxed{MN\perp BC}$. This completes the proof.
