  1. Ang MBE = ang EAM = α ( have same arc EFM )

    ang EAH = ang EDH ( have same arc EH, AEHD concyclic )

    α = ß

  2. [Here I am using a for alpha and b for beta]
    From Problem 73, we know that AEHD is a cyclic quad
    So <EAH=<EDH=b (< in same seg.)

    Consider triangle AEB
    b+<AEB+<MAB+<EBA=180
    b=180-<AEB-<MAB-<EBA-------(1)

    Consider triangle MAB
    <MAB+<AMB+<EBA+a=180
    a=180-<AMB-<MAB-<EBA---------(2)

    Since <AEB=<ABM (< in same seg)
    So (1)=(2)
