Let a=BE=AF, b=AB=EF and c=AG
ReplyDeleteLet K,M, Q are the projection of H over EF, FD and BA

1 Triangle HNF similar to Triangle HBG ( case AA)
We have HK/HQ=b/(2.(b+c))
HQ/2(b+c)=HK/b =a/(2c+b)
So HK= a.b/(2c+b)
2 Triangle FHM similar to triangle FAG ( case AA)
We have HM/c=FM/a so HM=c/a*FM=b.c/(2c+b)
EK=b-HM=b.(b+c)/(2c+b)
3 Note that ratio HK/GP=EK/EP=b/(2c+b)
Triangle EPG similar to triangle EKH ( case SAS)
Corresponding angles GEF will congruence with angle KEH and EF is the angle bisector of angle GEH

Let be N intersection of AB and HE (extended)
ReplyDeleteFH/GF = OF/BG, EH/NE = OE/BN => BG = BN
=> EN = GE
EH/EN = FH/GF => EH/EG = FH/GF
EH/FH = EG/GF
Let J intersection of CD and EH extended.
ReplyDeleteLet I intersection of CD extended and GH.
Tr. EFH similar to Tr. JIH.
BH is median of EFH and JIH -> AG = ID = DJ.
Then EJ = EG and Tr. EGJ is isosceles and EF is altitude -> EF is bisector of GEH.
