  1. Since ∆AEC and ∆BFC are isosceles triangles
    So ∠BFD=180- 2. ∠ODA
    And ∠CEA=180-2. ∠CAE
    And ∠BFD+∠CEA= 360-2.( ∠ODA+∠CAE)= 180
    So BF//CE

  2. Problem 995
    Let <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.

  3. Let < NFB = p = < NFD = < CAE = < ACE

    So < CED = 2p = < BFP and so BF // CE

  4. Let m(MEA)=@(Read as Alpha)=>m(NFE)=90-@
    AME 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
