  1. Seja H o ponto de intersecção de CB e DE. O Ang(AGD) = Ang(CGH) = x. Assim, Ang(CDE) = Ang(DEC) = a, pois CE = CD. Ang(CHE) = 90° - a, pois o triângulo CEH é retângulo em C. O ang(DCA) = Ang(ACB) = b, pois a diagonal AC do losango (rombo) é também uma bissetriz do ângulo C. No triângulo CGH, temos que 90° - a = x + b, ou seja, x = 90° - (a + b), pelo teorema do ângulo externo. No triângulo CDG, temos que x = a + b, pelo mesmo teorema. Assim, x = 90° - x e, concluindo, temos que x = 45°(demonstrado).

  2. join B with G and D.

    1) BG = GD (G equal distance to B,D)
    2) ang CBD = ang CDB ( BC=DC )

    => angCBG = angCDG (3)

    4) ang CFG = ang CDG ( FC = DC )

    from 3 and 4

    ang CBG = ang CFG

    but CF perpendicular to CB, so BG must be perpend to FG
    => BGD = 90
    => AGD = 45 ( CA bisector of C )

  3. Triangle ECD is isosceles.
    Let angleACD = x = angleBCA , angle CED = y = angle CDE.
    By considering triangleECD,
    angleDEC + angleECD + angleCDE = 180
    => (y) + (90 + x + x) + (y) = 180
    => x + y = 90
    => angleGCD + angleCDG = 90
    => angleAGD = 90

    Connect AF and FC
    Observe that AF//DE
    And BF=BA=BC => B is the center of circumcircle of triangle AFC
    Inscribed angle FAC= ½ of central angle FBC= angle AGD=45

  5. Construct the square DCMN outside the rhombus; triangles CED and CBM are congruent and have the homologous sides perpendicular, consequently DE_|_BM and they intersect on AC due to symmetry, thus AC is the bisector of <EFM=90.

  6. Problem 354
    Let K,L are centers of BCEF , ABCD respectively, then <BKC=90=<BLC so BLCK is cyclic with
    <KLC=<KBC=45. But BL=LD, BK=KE then LK//DE .So <AGD=<KLC=45.

  7. CB = CE = CD, hence C is the circumcenter of triangle BDE.

    So < BED = < BCD/2 = < BCG, thus BGCE is concyclic.

    Therefore < AGD = < CGE = < CBE = 45.

  8. See the drawing

    ABCD is a rhombus => ΔACD is congruent to ΔACB
    => ∠ACD = ∠ACB
    => ΔGCD is congruent to ΔGCB (SAS)
    => ∠GDC = ∠GBC
    ABCD is a rhombus =>CE=CD => ΔDCE is isosceles in C
    => ∠GEC = ∠GDC
    ∠GEC = ∠GBC => B, G, C, E are concyclic

    ∠AGD = ∠EGC
    Arc CE : ∠EBC = ∠EGC
    ∠EBC = 45° therefore ∠EGC = 45°
