Angle chase to obtain E,Z,H collinear Thus ∠ADH=∠AZH=∠BZE=∠BDE.Since BD=AD,∠DAH=∠DBE∴ is congruent to ADH and the conclusion follows \blacksquare

Note that \angle{DZE} = \angle{DBE} = \angle{DAH}. So, E,Z,H are collinear. Also, note that \angle{ADH}=\angle{AZH}=\angle{BZE}=\angle{BDE}. Since AD = DB, \Delta EDB \cong \Delta ADH. Thus, AH = BE. \blacksquare.

\measuredangle DZE = \measuredangle DBE \measuredangle DBC = \measuredangle DAC = \measuredangle DZH Hence, E,Z,H are collinear. \measuredangle EDB = \measuredangle EZB = \measuredangle HZA and BD = AD. So \Delta DBE \cong \Delta DAH \Rightarrow BE = AH

We have: \widehat{AHZ} = \widehat{EDZ} = \widehat{ZBC} or B, C, H, Z lie on a circle We also have: \widehat{HZE} = \widehat{HZD} + \widehat{DZE} = 180^o - \widehat{DAH} + \widehat{DBE} = 180^o or H, Z, E are collinear But: \widehat{DEZ} = \widehat{DBZ} = \widehat{DAZ} = \widehat{DHZ} then \triangle ABD \sim \triangle HED or DH = DE Combine with: AD = BD and \widehat{BDE} = \widehat{BZE} = \widehat{AZH} = \widehat{ADH}, we have: \triangle DEB = \triangle DHA or BE = AH

By Miquel's theorem,C,B,Z,H are concyclic.BD=AD,\angle EBD=\angle DAH,\angle EDB=\angle ACB=\angle AZH=\angle ADH \implies \bigtriangleup EDB \cong \bigtriangleup ADH \implies BE=AH.

DA=DB \angle AHD=\angle AZD=\angle DEB \angle DAH=\angle DAC=\angle EBD So \triangle DAH \cong \triangle DBE and we are done

Killed this in 15 minutes just a few months ago, now I can kill this in 1 minute. \measuredangle BED=\measuredangle BZD=\measuredangle AZD=\measuredangle AHD \measuredangle EBD=\measuredangle CBD=\measuredangle CAD=\measuredangle HAD, so \triangle AHD\sim \triangle BED. With AD=BD we have \triangle AHD\cong \triangle BED so AH=BE.
