    Problem Let $DE$ and $DF$ be the perpendicular lines drawn from any point $D$ on the hypotenuse $BC$ of a right isosceles triangle $ABC$ to the sides $AB$ and $AC$, respectively, and let $M$ be the midpoint of BC. Then $△EMF$ is also an isosceles right triangle. $$ $$ $$ $$ $\downarrow$ $\downarrow$ $\downarrow$ $\downarrow$ $\downarrow$ $$ $$…
