    A,E,G are collinear and cut arc BC at the midpoint of arc BC.
    D,F,H are collinear and cut arc BC at the midpoint of arc BC.
    Let L, N, K are the projection of E, M, G over BC . N is the midpoint of BC.
    We have BL= p-AC and CK= p-AC where p is half of perimeter of triangle ABC
    So N is the midpoint of LK and M is the midpoint of EG.
    Similarly M is also the midpoint of HF.
    Triangles EBG, ECG, HBF, FCH are right triangles so we have MB=MC=ME=MG=MH=MF
    Quadrilateral HGFE is concyclically with diameters HF and EG so EFGH is a rectangle.

  2. Please elaborate how "M is the midpoint of EG"

    Draw EQ//BC and MN, GK intersect EQ at P and Q.
    Since N is the midpoint of LK so P and M are the midpoint of EQ and EG.
