Solution

We know that AHE is a right triangle at H, and EFC at C .

Let G be the intersection of lines FC and DH .

From AHE=EFC=90 AH // FC
𝐴𝐷 𝐷𝐻
We consider the homothety of center D taking A to C and H to G. So = =1
𝐷𝐶 𝐷𝐺

Since HFG is right triangle at F and D the midpoint of HG, D is the center of the circle passing through H F and G

And therefore DH=DF

Problem
A triangle ABC with the inscribed circle O (D, E, and F are the tangency points). K is the midpoint of arc DE. BF
and CK cut chord EF at G and N, respectively. Prove that FG + NE = GN.
