Problem

Triangle $BCF$ has a right angle at $B$. Let $A$ be the point on line $CF$ such that $FA=FB$ and $F$ lies between $A$ and $C$. Point $D$ is chosen so that $DA=DC$ and $AC$ is the bisector of $\angle{DAB}$. Point $E$ is chosen so that $EA=ED$ and $AD$ is the bisector of $\angle{EAC}$. Let $M$ be the midpoint of $CF$. Let $X$ be the point such that $AMXE$ is a parallelogram. Prove that $BD,FX$ and $ME$ are concurrent.

The Problem shows that \(\angle DAC = \angle DCA = \angle CAD\), it follows that \(AB \parallel CD\). Extend \(DC\) to intersect \(AB\) at \(G\), we get \(\angle GFA = \angle GFB = \angle CFD\). Making triangles \(\triangle CDF\) and \(\triangle AGF\) similar. Also, \(\angle FDC = \angle FGA = 90^\circ\) and \(\angle FBC = 90^\circ\), which points \(D\), \(C\), \(B\), and \(F\) are concyclic.

And \(\angle BFC = \angle FBA + \angle FAB = \angle FAE = \angle AFE\). Triangle \(\triangle AFE\) is congruent to \(\triangle FBM\), and \(AE = EF = FM = MB\). Let \(MX = EA = MF\), then points \(B\), \(C\), \(D\), \(F\), and \(X\) are concyclic.

Finally \(AD = DB\) and \(\angle DAF = \angle DBF = \angle FXD\). \(\angle MFX = \angle FXD = \angle FXM\) and \(FE \parallel MD\) with \(EF = FM = MD = DE\), making \(EFMD\) a rhombus. And \(\angle FBD = \angle MBD = \angle MXF = \angle DXF\) and triangle \(\triangle BEM\) is congruent to \(\triangle XEM\), while \(\triangle MFX\) is congruent to \(\triangle MBD\) which is congruent to \(\triangle FEM\), so \(EM = FX = BD\).
