(Geometry) Can someone justify this for me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So this is the problem statement: "Suppose ΔABC is an acute triangle. Let the bases of the altitudes to B and C be E and F, respectively, and let A' be the midpoint of BC. Prove ΔA'EF is isosceles." |dw:1437180207621:dw| Okay, so my professor when hinting at the solution to this problem said to draw a circle for which the length BC is the diameter and that doing so should show that the right angles are inscribed on the circle. But I don't know how we can justify that is true. Sure, you can draw it and see it, but what proof is there to say that A'F and A'E would be radii and that those right angles would be inscribed?
