  2. EF = a-a/V2 and FC=V2a-a where V=square root. So Another way to prove this w/o any construction would be: a=square side. EF/FC=a(1-1/V2)/a(V2-1)=1/V2 and ED/DC=(a/V2)/a =1/V2. Thus,ED/DC=EF/FC or DG bisects angle BDC. Therefore. BG/GC=DB/DC= aV2/a=V2/1 or BG/(BG+GC)=V2*/(V2+1)or rationalizing, BG =V2*a(V2-1) = 2a-aV2.
    Now, EF=a-a/V2 or 2EF=2a - aV2. Hence, BG=2*EF.

  3. let us find the angles of angleBDG,BGD,DFE,EFD,DGC,GDC. then we can observe that DG is the angular bisector of angle BDC,and tr DEF, tr DGC are simalar triangles using these two concepts we can prove the required

  4. suggest to others

    (i did not understand anything from third comment)

    a easy way: use EF as middle line for any triangle
