  1. by problem 388, GD || BE.
    by problem 387, BEDG is cyclic.
    So, BEDG is an isosceles trapezium.
    SO,
    BG = DE

  2. BEFD is concyclic
    BEDG is concyclic

    => BEFDG is concyclic (three points determine the circle

    Draw EM median of BEC => ang MEC = ang ECM
    => ang MEC = ang ACE

    => ED//AC

    if extend BE to K on AC
    => ang BKC = ang DEB = ang EBC (ED//AC & BKC isosceles
    => BEDG trapezoid concyclic

    => BG = ED

  3. to c.t.e.o,
    How do you know that D lies on the median from E to BC (in triangle BEC).
    I guess u can only conclude that EM||AC.

  4. To Ramprakash.K
    It is necessary E, D, M, to be collinear
    Just draw the altitude of FGC from G (see arcs & EM = MC
    Thanks

  5. To Ramprakash.K
    E, midpoint of BK, K on AC, D midpoint of BL, L on AC
    => ED//AC
    D, M midpoints => DM//AC
    From D two // to AC or E, D, M collinear

  6. to c.t.e.o...
    EM=MC. =>EM || AC.
    How exactly do you prove that E,D,M are collinear???
    could you give me a full proof of it, by your method, please???

  7. To Ramprakash.K
    EM = MC= MB = R ( radius of BEC )
    => MEC = ECM => MEC = ECA as alternate angles
    EM//AC
    ------------------------------------
    Or ED midle line of BKL
    DM midle line of BLC
    => EM midle line of BKC
    about E, D, M see comment 5 (I think is clear one)
