  1. ang: MEF + PIJ = 180, MLK + GHP = 180 => AEML, PICH cyclic
    => EML + HPI = 180

  2. Let the angles of Tr. FGB be a,b,x respectively

    Similarly for FGN be c,d,u
    For ELA be d,e,y
    For LEM be a,f,w
    For JKD be g,f, 180-x
    For JKQ be e,h,v
    For IHP be b,g, z and
    For HIC be c,h, 180 - y

    Write 8 sum of angles equations for the 8 Tr.s each adding to 180.

    Eliminate a,b,c,,d,e, f,g, h from these 8 equations

    We end up with u + v = w + z

    So each side must be = to 180 which is our desired result
