Then we have angles BPA=AQB=90° (Thales). As AP and BQ are parallel, QBA=PAB and ABP=BAQ as they are alternate angles; and as the sum of them is 180° (they are part of a cyclic quadrangle), each of them is 90°.<br /><br />Thus APBQ is a rectangle. If we now draw the line through the center of the circle, which is perpendicular to CD, this will be a median of the rectangle (as a parallel to two sides which passes through the center). So, if we consider a reflection in this line, the circle and the rectangle are invariant and the segments DF and CG are mapped to each other. Thus they are equal.
