BF BC = BD squared = BE BA,
ReplyDeleteBF BC = BE BA
By the converse of power theorem, AEFC is cocycle.
Quad. BEDF is clearly concyclic; hence angle BEF = angle BDF = 90 - angle FDC = angle C. Hence AEFC is concyclic. QED.

angle BED + angle BFD = 180 degrees because DE and DF are perpendiculars to AB and BC respectively. this implies that BEDF is a cyclic quadrilateral. join EF then angle DEF = angle DBF as they are in the same segment. but angle DBF = 90 - angle C as BDC is a right triangle. so angle DEF = 90 - angle C. this implies that angle AEF = 90 + 90 - angle C = 180 - angle C. so angle AEF + angle ACF = 180. so AEFC is a cyclic quadrilateral because the sum of a pair of opposite angles equals 180 degrees. therefore points A, E, F and C are concyclic.
ReplyDeleteQ. E. D.
Since EBFD is cyclic < BEF = < BDF which is in turn = to FCD.
ReplyDeleteHence AEFC is con cyclic
