Problem Let $E$ and $F$ be the midpoints of sides $AB$ and $BC$ of a triangle $ABC$, respectively. Put points $G$ and $H$ on $AC$ so that $AG=GH=HC$, and let $D$ be the intersection point of lines $EG$ and $FH$. Then, the quadrilateral $ABCD$ is a parallelogram. $$ $$ $$ $$ $\downarrow$ $\downarrow$ $\downarrow$ $\downarrow$ $\downarrow$ $$ $$…
