    It is easy to see that
    e^2=(b/2)^2 -[(a-c)/2]^2=ac/2=Area of Tr. ABC

    Lets assume G' is midpoint of EF, if we draw perpendicular to AC from G', it will meet
    AC at it's midpoint and its length will be (AE+CF)/2=AC/2. G' lies on circle c3, hence G' must coincide with G.
    We have LG as median of Triangle ELF.
    d^2=(EL^2+FL^2-2EG^2)/2
    where EL=EH and FL=FJ.
    Lets assume EA extended meets c1 at point Q, then AQBD is a rectangle and AQ=BD
    EH^2=EA.(EA+AQ)=EA^2+EA.BD .......(1)
    Similarly FJ^2=FC^2+FC.BD ........(2)
    Since Tr. EDF is right Triangle and G is midpoint of EF,
    2EG^2=EA^2+FC^2 .......(3)
    Using eq. (1),(2) and (3) we get d^2=(EA.BD+CF.BD)/2=AC.BD/2=Area of Tr.ABC

    Hence d=e
