  1. 1) from P436, & P437
    2) ▲APN, & ▲ADM isoceles (AP = AN, AD = AM)
    =>
    APN = ADM (ang PAN is common angle for both tr)
    as corresponding angles =>

    PN//DM

  2. 2)
    AM/AN=AG/AF=AD/AP(homothety)
    => DM//PN

    1)
    mADF=mDBA=mDGF => AD^2=AF*AG
    similarly AM^2=AF*AG
    => AD=AM
    with 2) we get DP=MN
