RegionalProof

Let \(H\) be the orthocentre of an acute triangle \(ABC\), and let \(A_1\), \(B_1\) and \(C_1\) be the centres of the circles circumscribed about the triangles \(BHC\), \(CHA\) and \(AHB\) respectively. Prove that the triangles \(ABC\) and \(A_1B_1C_1\) are congruent.

A B C H A1 B1 C1
The three circumcentres form a triangle turned the other way up around \(H\).
