    1)draw CG // AB => ▲AGE = ▲FBC => AE = BF
    2)▲AEG ~ ▲AFD ( ang AFD = ang AGE, 90 - FCG & 90 - EGC)
    AD/AF = AG/AE
    AD/AF = BC/AE

    Let M is the intersection of AD to circle O
    Let N is the projection of point O over chord EF.
    Since NO is the mid base of trapezoid ABCD . N is the midpoint of chord EF and segment AB.
    (1) BN=AN & NE=NF so AE=BF
    (2) Note that CM perpendicular to AD and ABCM is a rectangular so BC= AM
    Consider point A and 2 secants AEF & AMD to circle O
    We have AE.AF=AM.AD so AE.AF=BC.AD

    If AD cuts the circle at X ABCX is a rectangle and CFEX is therefore an isoceles trapezoid and both results follow easily since Tr.s BCF and AEX are congruent
