              In 
				triangle ABC, 
				angle B is a right angle, BD is the 
				altitude, O is the
				incenter, 
				r is the 
				inradius, BE is the 
				bisector of angle ABD, BF is the 
				bisector of angle DBC. EO and FO are extended until they meet 
				sides BC and AB at H and G, respectively. Prove the following: 
				
				1. EF = 2r 
				
				2. M is the 
				midpoint of EF 
				
				3. OE = OF = OB =
				  
				
				4. O is the 
				circumcenter of triangle 
				BEF 
				
				5. Quadrilateral BHOG is 
				cyclic 
				
				6. OG = OH 
				
				7.EH and FG are congruent and 
				perpendicular 
				
				8. Angles A and BOH are congruent, 
				similarly C and BOG 
				
				9. GH is 
				parallel to AC 
				
				10. EG = FH

						Mind Map:  George P�lya's 1945 book, 
						"How to Solve It"
						
  
				
				
								George P�lya's 1945 book "How to Solve It, A new aspect of 
				Mathematical Method", is a book describing methods of problem 
				solving. It suggests the following steps when solving a 
				mathematical problem: (1) First, you have to understand the 
				problem. (2) After understanding, then make a plan. (3) Carry 
				out the plan. (4) Look back on your work. How could it be 
				better? 
				A mind map is a diagram used to visually organize information, knowledge, concepts or ideas.
