We will measure the altitude of F and G points from AC, to see when they are the same.
To easy things I use as notation h=BD and hf, hg, hs, etc, the altitude of points F, G, S, etc.
Also the angle BAC is 2a and ACB is 2b.
hf=1/2(hp+hq)
hg=1/2(hr+hs)
For hp
tan.2b=h/DC tan.b=hp/DC From here hp=h*tan.b/tan.2b and so:
hp=h*(1-(tan.b)^2)/2
For hq
hq=CQ*sin.b
CQ/sin.2a=AC/sin.(2a+b) AC=h*sin.(2a+2b)/(sin.2a*sin.2b) so that CQ=h*sin.(2a+2b)*sin.2a/(sin.2a*sin.2b*sin.(2b+a))
and
hq=h*sin.(2a+2b)*sin.2a*sin.b/(sin.2a*sin.2b*sin.(2a+b))
To avoid excessive complesity in the text here we are already going to suppose that the angle ABC is 90°. If the enunciate of the puzzle is right we should get hf=hg
With ABC angle = 90° then 2a+2b=90 and 2a+b=90-b.
The expression for hq is then
hq=h*sin.b/sin.2b*cos.b hq=h/2(cos.b)^2
Then hf=1/2(hp+hq)= h*(1-(tan.b)^2)/4 + 1/4(cos.2b)^2)
Multiplying and dividing for (cos.b)^2 the first summand
hf=((cos.b)^2-(sin.b)^2)+1)/4(cos.b)^2
and directly from here
hf=h/2
But for hg all the formulas are simmetric, changing a with b and b with a. and using the correspective sides of the triangle.
So then:
hf=hg=h/2
