  1. ABD is a right triangle with angle B=60
    So we get AF=FB=BD
    Let AD cut FG at M .
    Triangle BFM congruence to triangle DDM ( case SAS)
    So angle FMB= angle DBM and BM is the angle bisector of angle ABC
    So AD, BF and FG concurrent at M

  2. Let BE and AD cut at M.
    ∠ABM = 30°(since BE bisects ∠ABC = 60°)
    ∠BAM = 30°(since it is the complement of ∠ABC=60° in the right-angled ∆ADB)
    So ∆AMB is isosceles and MA = MB
    Hence the ⊥ bisector of AB passes through M

  3. If we draw MF perpendicular to AB, then Triangles AMF & BMF are congruent ASA
    Hence AF = FB so MF is the perpendicular bisector of AB

    So the required concurrency is proved
