  1. draw BC' perpendicular to CE
    extend GB to G' ( on circle)
    draw G'E' tangent on G'
    => E'G'//EG ( both perpendicular to GG')
    =>ang G'C'E' = FCE
    => C'G'//HM
    => HC' = MG' ( HMG'C' trapezoid )
    => ang MG'G'' = α ( G" tg E'G'G")
    => ang MBG' = 2α
    => x + 2α = 180

    x = 180 - 2α

  2. EB bisect mDEG and mECF=mCFE =>
    HM//EG⊥GD
    α+x/2=mHMD+mMDG=90° <=>
    x=180°-2α
