if the circles are drawn taking two sides of a traingle as diameters ,prove that the point of intersection of these circles lie on the third side

The diagram is-

Join AB.
∠ ABD = 90° (Angle in a semicircle)
∠ ABC = 90° (Angle in a semicircle)
So, ∠ ABD + ∠ ABC = 90° + 90° = 180°
Therefore, DBC is a line.

Hence the point of intersection of two circles lie on the third side.

 Let AB be the diameter of first circle

Let CD be the diameter of second circle

Let OP be the common chord

then angle APO=90 (angle in a semicircle)

Similarly angle DPO =90

Add  angleAPO  angleDPO

therefore it is a line
