let $O$ be the centre of the circle through the points $A,B,C$.Let $D$be the mid point of $AB$.Let $E$ be the centroid of the triangle $ACD$.Prove that, the line $CD$ will be perpendicular to the line $OE$ iff $AB=AC$

the book provides the solution in vector could someone do it in the geometric way?

Using $L^AT_EX$ and following the rules of the forum are very easy but really important, too.Please co-operate.

sorry.
it should have been like this.

It's very easy to prove $OE\perp CD$ when $AB=AC$.So I'm giving its inverse case.

thanks for the nice proof. (and i am uploading the figure as a jpeg file, so that none has to download it. )
