ABCD is a rhombus. AB is produced to F and BA is produced to E such that AB = AE = BF. Then :
ABCD is a rhombus and AB = AE = BF
=> AD = AE and BC = BF
=> $$\angle$$AED = $$\angle$$ADE and $$\angle$$BCF = $$\angle$$BFC
Let $$\angle$$DAB = $$2\theta$$ and $$\angle$$ABC = $$2\alpha$$
Using exterior angle property, we get :
=> $$\angle$$AED = ADE = $$\theta$$
and $$\angle$$BCF = $$\angle$$BFC = $$\alpha$$
Also, in ABCD
=> $$\angle$$DAB + $$\angle$$ABC = 180
=> $$2\theta + 2\alpha = 90$$
=> $$\theta + \alpha = 90$$
Now, in $$\triangle$$GEF
=> $$\angle G$$ + $$\theta + \alpha$$ = 180
=> $$\angle G$$ = 180 - 90 = 90
=> $$ED \perp CF$$
