1. Connect BC3 and CB3
ReplyDeletenote that BC3=CB3 and angle( BC3E)= angle (CB3E)=90 , angle (BEC3)= angle (B3EC)
Triangle BEC3 congruence with triangle B3EC ( case ASA)
so BE=CE
Similarly we also have BH=HC >> HE is the perpendicular bisector of BC
With the same logic DG, FM are the perpendicular bisectors of AB and AC
So 3 perpen. bisectors DG, EH, FM are concurrent at the center of circumcircle of triangle ABC
2. from part 1 we have DA=DB, BE=CE, CF=AF
so s= half of perimeter of polygon ADBECF = DA+EB+CF=DB+EC+FA
