  1. Drop perpendiculars from O to EA & B to DA
    Since BA=OA => m(BAD) = m(OAE)
    Hence triangles BAD & OAE are congruent
    => DA = EA
    m(DAE)=m(DAO)+m(OAE)
    =>m(DAE)=60-m(BAD)+m(OAE)
    =>m(DAE)=60
    Hence DAE is equilateral

    2. It is just construction of an equilateral triangle with vertices onto 3 concentric circles

  2. Let a circle (A,AD) that intersects the circle C_3 at the point Z.Then triangle DBA=triangle ZOA (AD=AZ,AB=AO,DB=ZO).So triangle DAZ is
    equilateral.If ZN perpendicular of AD,then AN=ND or N,M=coincide.Therefore and
    the points Z,E= coincide.So triangle DAE is equilateral .
