  1. Draw C`B` tg to O at F` and // to DE. Join F to H and extend at A` (AE extended)
    Draw A`A´` (A`` at AD extended) perpendicular to AO extended, join C` to midpoint of A`A``
    Like P1315 => result

  2. Join F to H need to be Join F` to H

  3. To c.t.e.o

    See below for the sketch per your solution as above.

    Suppose that the result of Pr1315 is correct. I don't see how the result of Pr1315 help to prove that DG+HE= GH . please explain

  4. If you complete drawings, join C`, B` to M and C`, B` to midpoint of A`A``
    Triangles formed by B`C` and points M and midpoint of A`A`` are isoceles so
    segment parts on DE are equal
    About point T of P1315
    If T move counterclockwise, C move right up, and A move left down , so G move
    towards M and N towards E so DG get bigger so and MN at the same length
    So DG, MN are dependent from T
