Let $ABC$ be a right triangle with a right angle in $C$ and a circumcenter $U$. On the sides $AC$ and $BC$, the points $D$ and $E$ lie in such a way that $\angle EUD = 90 ^o$. Let $F$ and $G$ be the projection of $D$ and $E$ on $AB$, respectively. Prove that $FG$ is half as long as $AB$. (Walther Janous)
