Since B E C H E A \angle BEC \cong \angle HEA and H A C A C B \angle HAC \cong \angle ACB , H E A B E C \triangle HEA \sim \triangle BEC (A.A.) and A E E F + C F = H E B E \dfrac{AE}{EF+CF}=\dfrac{HE}{BE}

Similarly, B F A G F C \triangle BFA \sim \triangle GFC and C F E F + A E = F G B F \dfrac{CF}{EF+AE}=\dfrac{FG}{BF}

However, since C F = A E CF=AE , H E B E = F G B F \dfrac{HE}{BE}=\dfrac{FG}{BF} .

Therefore, in H B G \triangle HBG , H G E F HG \parallel EF or H G A C HG \parallel AC
