In square ABCD, E is the midpoint of line BC, and F is the midpoint of line CD. Let G be the intersection of line AE and line BF. Prove that DG = AB.

I can't upload a pic....so use your imagination ....!!!!
Draw DH perpendicular to AE
By SAS.....ΔABE = ΔBEF
<BAE = <CBF
<ABF + <CBF = 90
So <BAE + <ABF =90
So <AGB =90
<BAE + <DAH = 90
<BAE + <ABF = 90
So < DAH = < ABF
And < AHD =< AGB =90
So by AAS .......ΔHAD = ΔGBA
And by AA congruency
ΔABE ≈ ΔAGB → ΔBEA ≈ ΔGBA
Since AB = the side of the square and BE = (1/2) the side of the square
Then...... 2BE = AB and, by similar reasoning..... 2GB = AG
Now AG = HD and by the same reasoning as before 2AH = HD → 2AH = AG
But
AG =AH + GH
2AH = AH + GH
So AH = GH
By SAS
ΔAHD = ΔGHD
And <HAD = < HGD
But in Δ AGD, <GAD = <AGD
Therefore.......DG = AD
But AD = AB
Therefore.......DG = AB
If this stupid thing will let me upload a pic.....I'll do so....!!!!
