    Isosceles trapezoid (see P 1411) is cyclic

    See sketch for position of points K, L, M
    We have AK⊥DG and
    ∠ (AIC)= 90+ ½* ∠ (B)= 135 => ∠ (EIC)=45
    Since ID and CF perpendicular to AB => DI//FC
    We also have CF=MB=DI => DICF is a parallelogram
    So DF//IC => ∠ (DLK)= ∠ (EIC)= 45 => ∠(GDF)= 45

    If AC meets the excircle at Z, from my Proof of Problem 1407, DFZ are collinear

    So < GDA = < AGD - < GZD
    = (90 - A/2) - C/2 = 45
