Step2:- Construct a line through points C and G so that it intersects DM. Note, it appears that
line CG intersects DM at the point H. However, this has not been proven yet. So, label the point of
intersection H'.
Step5:-
Step7:-
Step8:- Thus, H' is located at the intersection of DM and GC and is in fact on the line GC such
that GH' = 2GC. Thus, G, H', and C are collinear. Similarly, H' can be proved to be located on the
altitudes constructed from vertices E and F so that GH' = 2GC. Therefore, H' lies on all three
altitudes.
Step9:- Thus, H' is the orthocenter because it is lies on all three altitudes. Yet, by the given
hypothesis, H is the orthocenter. Thus, H' = H.
Mirror image of orthocenter about any side of triangle lies on its circumcircle.
