Given: Circles are described with sides AB and AC of a triangle ABC as diameters. They intersect in a point D.
To prove: D lies on the third side BC of {tex}\triangle{/tex}ABC.

Construction: Join AD.
Proof: Circle described on AB as diameter intersects BC in D.
{tex}\angle {/tex}ADB = 90° [Angle in a semi-circle]
But {tex}\angle {/tex}ADB + {tex}\angle {/tex}ADC = 180° [Linear Pair Axiom]
{tex}\therefore{/tex} {tex}\angle {/tex}ADC = 90°
Hence, the circle described on AC as diameter must pass through D.
Thus, the two circles intersect in D.
Now {tex}\angle {/tex}ADB + {tex}\angle {/tex}ADC = 180°
{tex}\therefore{/tex} Points B, D, C are collinear
{tex}\therefore{/tex} D lies on BC.
