Since ∆AEC and ∆BFC are isosceles triangles
ReplyDeleteSo ∠BFD=180- 2. ∠ODA
And ∠CEA=180-2. ∠CAE
And ∠BFD+∠CEA= 360-2.( ∠ODA+∠CAE)= 180
So BF//CE
Problem 995
ReplyDeleteLet <EAC=<ECA=x,<FBD=<FDBX+Y=y.But in triangle AOD apply <DAO+<ADO=90 or x+y=90. If BF intersects the AC at K then <BKO=90-<KBO=90-y=x=<AKF=<ACF. So
BF//CE.

Let < NFB = p = < NFD = < CAE = < ACE
ReplyDeleteSo < CED = 2p = < BFP and so BF // CE

Let m(MEA)=@(Read as Alpha)=>m(NFE)=90-@
ReplyDeleteAME congruent to CME (SAS AM=MC,m(AME)=m(EMC)=90)
=> m(MEC)=m(MEA)=@ and m(AEC)=2@ -------(1)
Simiarly FNB congruent to FND
=> m(BFN)=m(NFD)=90-@=>m(AFB)=2@--------(2)
From (1)&(2) BF//CE
