  1. Extend HF at G , G on AB. Join G to K, meet DE at P. From 1315 DP=NE =>PKN isoceles, => GKH isoceles

  2. Dear Antonio

    Can this be proved directly without using Pr 1315?

    Let HF cut DB at L; LK and FA cut DE at N’ and G
    Per result of problem 1315 we have
    DG=MN
    GM=NE , GN=ME=DM
    triangle FGM similar to FAK so GM= KA.(FM/FK)
    Triangle LDN’ similar to LAK so DN’= KA.( LN’/LK)= KA.(FM/FK)
    So GM= DN’=NE => MN=MN’
    Due to symmetry of LN’K to HNK over axis of symmetry BK => H,N ,K are collinear

  4. Angle FHN=HNE=MNK, so they are colinear.

  5. Please explain the reason of " HNE=MNK" in your solution
