    Draw HP // CF. From congrunce of two tr GM = MH
    Full explanation will be in my sketch

    Draw perpendiculars OK,ON from O to CF,ED respectively

    Obviously K and N are the midpoints of CF and ED respectively

    Since Tr.s CFM and EDM are similar, CF/CM = ED/EM
    Hence CK/CM = EN/EM & since < KCM = < MEN, Tr.s CKM & ENM are similar and so
    < GKM = < MNE...….(1)

    Now OMGK and OMNH are both concyclic so
    < GKM = < GOM ….(2) and
    < HOM = < MNE .…(3)

    From (1), (2) & (3) we have < GOM = < HOM and hence GM = MH
