Equilateral Triangle in Square And the Pedal Circle of Its Apex

Choose $D=(-1,1),\,$ $B=(1,1).\,$ Then $P=(0,\displaystyle \sqrt{3}-1),\,$ $X=(0,1),\,$ $Z=(1,\sqrt{3}-1),\,$ and $Y=\displaystyle \left(-\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2},\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2}\right).\,$ Let $F\,$ be the center of the circle $(XYZ),\,$ then it can be verified that $F=\displaystyle \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2},\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2}\right).\,$ (For a verification simply check that $FX=FY=FZ=\sqrt{3}-1.)$

In particular $F\in BD\,$ so that the circle is symmetric in $BD\,$ and so are its intersections with $AB\,$ and $BC.\,$ It follows that, since $X\,$ is the midpoint of $AB,\,$ $M\,$ is the midpoint of $BC.$
