join A and C to O
ReplyDeleteA + C = 90 => A/2 + C/2 = 45
OBF = 45 - A/2 => OBF = C =>
BOFC cyclic ( OBF = OCF = C/2, angles in the same segm)
=>
OBF = OFB (OFB and OCB = C/2, arc OB )
=> ▲OBF isoceles => OF = r√2 ( OB diagonal of squares )
=> MF = OM = r
in the same way EM = r
=> EF = 2r
=> OEF = OFE = 45° => EOF = 90°
------------------------------------------------
2) 3) 4) see 1)
------------------------------------------------
5) EOH = GOH = 90° as vertical angles =>
B + GOH = 180° => BGOH cyclic
------------------------------------------------
6) BGO + BHO = 180° =>
180 - AGO + BHO = 180 =>
AGO = BHO =>
▲PGO = ▲QOH ( P, Q tg points in AB, BC )
=> GO = OH
=> EO + OH = FO + OG
=> EH = FG
-----------------------------------------------
7) see 6) and 1)
-----------------------------------------------
8)QHO = 45° + C
▲BOH => 45°+ BOH + 45° + C = 180° =>
BOH = A ( C+A=90°)
----------------------------------------------
9) GOH = 90° & GO = HO => HGO 45° =>
HGO = AFG ( alternate ang ) =>
GH//AC
----------------------------------------------
10) ▲EGF = ▲EFH
EF common side
EH = FG
OEF = OFE = 45°
=>
EG = FH
