  1. Problem 1327
    Is triangle AED=triangle CED then AE=CG and <EAD=<DCG. But <DCG+<DGC=90.
    So <DAE+<DGC=90.Therefore AE is perpendicular at CG.

  2. Problem 1327
    Is triangle AED=triangle CED(AD=DC,DE=DG, <ADE=90=<CDG) then AE=CG and <EAD=<DCG. But <DCG+<DGC=90.
    So <DAE+<DGC=90.Therefore AE is perpendicular at CG.

  3. Draw circles through ABCD and EFGD. L' intersection point.
    ang DL'G=45°, ang DL'C=135°=> L≡L' => ALC=90°

  4. Tr.s ADE & CDG are congruent SAS

    Hence < DAE = < DCG
    So ADLC is concyclic

    Therefore < ALC = < ADC = 90
