  1. join A and C to O
    A + C = 90 => A/2 + C/2 = 45
    OBF = 45 - A/2 => OBF = C =>
    BOFC cyclic ( OBF = OCF = C/2, angles in the same segm)
    =>
    OBF = OFB (OFB and OCB = C/2, arc OB )
    => ▲OBF isoceles => OF = r√2 ( OB diagonal of squares )
    => MF = OM = r
    in the same way EM = r

    => EF = 2r

    => OEF = OFE = 45° => EOF = 90°
    ------------------------------------------------
    2) 3) 4) see 1)
    ------------------------------------------------
    5) EOH = GOH = 90° as vertical angles =>
    B + GOH = 180° => BGOH cyclic
    ------------------------------------------------
    6) BGO + BHO = 180° =>
    180 - AGO + BHO = 180 =>
    AGO = BHO =>
    ▲PGO = ▲QOH ( P, Q tg points in AB, BC )
    => GO = OH
    => EO + OH = FO + OG
    => EH = FG
    -----------------------------------------------
    7) see 6) and 1)
    -----------------------------------------------
    8)QHO = 45° + C
    ▲BOH => 45°+ BOH + 45° + C = 180° =>
    BOH = A ( C+A=90°)
    ----------------------------------------------
    9) GOH = 90° & GO = HO => HGO 45° =>
    HGO = AFG ( alternate ang ) =>
    GH//AC
    ----------------------------------------------
    10) ▲EGF = ▲EFH
    EF common side
    EH = FG
    OEF = OFE = 45°
    =>
    EG = FH
    ---------------------------------------------
