Since $\widehat{AHB}+\widehat{ACB}=\pi$, $AHB$ and $ABC$ have the same circumradius by the sine theorem, since they have $AB$ in common and $\sin\widehat{AHB}=\sin\widehat{ACB}$.

Hint: Let $H_A$, $H_B$, and $H_C$ be the reflections of $H$ about $BC$, $CA$, and $AB$, respectively. Prove that $H_A$, $H_B$, and $H_C$ are on the circumscribed circle of $ABC$.
