This problem is actually a well-known problem in the field of geometry, particularly in relation to triangles. It's based on the properties of the orthocenter and the circumcircle of a triangle. The orthocenter of a triangle is the point where the three altitudes of the triangle intersect. A circle drawn from the midpoint of the base of the triangle passing through the orthocenter has interesting properties.

In the given problem, it can be shown that AD is tangent to the circle passing through H with center M (the midpoint of BC) by using similar triangles and the properties of the Power of a Point Theorem (also known as the Secant-Secant Power Theorem).

Let's denote by M the midpoint of BC, O the circumcenter of triangle ABC, and by P the other point on AH where the circle centered at M intersects line AH.

Since H is the orthocenter of triangle ABC, and M is the midpoint of BC, then M is the midpoint of HO (this is a well-known property of the Euler line, which passes through several significant points of a triangle: the centroid, orthocenter, circumcenter, and the center of the nine-point circle, which is the midpoint of the line segment from the orthocenter to the circumcenter).

Therefore, triangles HBC and MOA are similar. This means that angle OMA equals angle BHC. But since angle BHC equals angle BAC (since H lies on line AD, which is an altitude of the triangle), we conclude that angle OMA equals angle BAC.

But OMA is a right angle, therefore, triangle ABC is also a right triangle, and AD is indeed tangent to the circle passing through H with center M.

This solution requires knowledge of several theorems and properties from geometry, so don't worry if it seems complicated. Geometry often involves layering several different concepts on top of one another to reach a conclusion.
