Move p and/or a on the circle, and the angles will be 90^\circ. MY don´t move, and are diameter; MAYP can form a square if you like, to proof it, but not in the example. Do you understand that? I have been calculating on some angles and found this: $2\cdot \angle PAY=\angle BAM, \angle BAM=180^\circ-\angle PBM=90^\circ-\angle PBX$ Can you find this as well? Hoempa

Re: Geometric Proof [hard]

So you don't agree with the chord quadrilateral MAYP?

I'm sorry, but this is not a mathematical argument. Besides it is <MAP=<AYX.
