  1. el angulo entre las bisectrices de dos angulos suplementarios es 90° y aquĆ­, por llegar al incentro, tenemos bisectrices.

  2. ADB/2 = (B1 + C)/2 and BDC/2 = (180 - B1 - C)/2
    =>
    ADB/2 + BDC/2 = 90

    I have sent yesterday solution for 558 (delete this )

  3. angle EDB = (1/2)*angle BDA and angle BDF = (1/2)* angle BDC. adding the results we get angle EBD + angle BDF = angle EDF = (1/2)*(angle BDA + angle BDC) = (1/2)*angle ADC = (1/2)*180 degrees = 90 degrees. ADC is a straight line so angle ADC is 180 degrees. therefore angle EDF = 90 degrees.
    Q. E. D.

  4. Since DF bisects < BFA and EF bisects < CFA the result is obvious
