  1. From ang CFH and CFP => CH = CP
    From congr of circles AC = BC
    => Tr ACH congr Tr BCP (SAS)

  2. ABC, BCD, BDF are all equilateral triangles
    ABF is a straight line and a diameter of circle B and so AH is perpendicular to FP

    S(BFP) = 1/2.BP/2.FP......(1) (since < BPF = 30 since D is the centre of TR BFP)

    S(AFP) = 1/2.AH. FP ......(2)

    Since S(AFP) = 2.S(BFP) from (1) and (2) we have

    AH = BP

  3. CBF equal 120*. Angle CPF equal 60*. Angle CHP=FAC=CPE=60*.Triangle CHP equilateral. PC=PH=HC. R(C,60*) B-->A P-->H BP=AH. In triangle APH AP in second power=AH second power+ HC in second power=BP in second power + PC in second power. This means AP in second power=Bp in second power + PC in second power.
