Join G to F. /_EDF=/_EGF & /_DGE=/_DFE so /_DGF=/_DGE+/_EGF=/_EDF+/_DFE=/_DEB=/_ACB.
ReplyDeleteHence etc.

ReplyDeleteConnect GF ( see picture)
Since quadrilateral GDEF cyclic so m(GDE)=m(GFC)
Note that m(GDE) supplement to angle(GAC) ( DE//AC)
So angle(GFC) supplement to angle (GAC)
And A,G,E,F concyclic
Peter Tran
DE//AC ---> angle (BED)=(BCA)
ReplyDeletecyclic quadrilateral DEFG ---> (BED)=(BGF)
Therefore: angle(BGF)=(BCA).
Then the quadrilateral AGFC is cyclic.
Join GF
ReplyDeleteAngle DGF = angle BED = angle BCA
So A,G,F,C are concyclic
Triangle BGF ~ Triangle BED ~ Triangle BCA
ReplyDeleteBG:BC = BF:BA
BG.BA = BF.BC
A, G, F, C are concyclic
