  1. Tr. EFC/Tr.EFD = EC/ED = EB/EF as BC//FD. But EB/EF=DA/DF as AB//DC. So Tr. EFC/Tr.EFD =DA/DF=Tr.EAD/Tr.EFD or Tr. EFC = Tr.EAD and thus Tr. EFC - Tr. EGC = Tr.EAD - Tr.EGC or A2 = A1 as reqd.

  2. ▲AFB ~ ▲BCE => FD/AF = h/h2 (h, h2 alt FDE, FDC )
    => FD∙h2 = AF∙h => SFDC = SAFE =>
    SAGCD = SFGE
