  1. Join D to F and extend it to D1. ///ly join G to F and extend to G1. Since ADFE is concyclic, /_EFD1 =/_A. ///ly /_GFD1=/B which implies that /_EFG1=/_C since A,B & C are internal angles of Tr. ABC. This, in turn, means that quad CEFG is concyclic.

  3. angle(EFG)
    = 360 - angle(DFE) - angle(DFG)
    = (180- angle(DFE)) + (180 - angle(DFG))
    = A + B
    = 180 - C
    = 180 - angle(GCE)
    q.e.d.

  4. ∠A + ∠DFE = 180°
    ∠B + ∠DFG = 180°

    ∠C + ∠EFG
    = (180°−∠A−∠B) + (360°−∠DFE−∠DFG)
    = 540° − (∠A + ∠DFE) − (∠B + ∠DFG)
    = 180°

    Thus, C,E,F,G concyclic.

  5. Antonio,

    I would like to propose a new problem:

    D is located inside the triangle ABC, such that <DAC=<DAB=<DBA=10 degrees.
    <DBC is 30 degrees. Find <ACD.

    Respectfully,
