I solved it with complete symbolic forms and then I deduce every thing in the triangles and it's segments So we can solve these equations and find that MN=1/2. Sqrt(AB^2+CD^2)

I asked randomly and I was right

This is a (60,80,100) rt. triangle where M coincides with A and MN =AN= NB =BC/2 =100/2=50.

How could we prove that ?????
