Construct squares on the legs of a triangle. Then the lines that join the midpoint of the base with the centers of the square are congruent and perpendicular.
Drag A
Compare the velocities of H and M.
BA is equal to sqrt of 2 times BH, rotated 45o. Therefore
the velocity of A is equal to sqrt 2 times the velocity of H,
rotated 45o. Same way for A and M (rotated 45o
the other way).
Therefore the velocity of H is the same as the velocity of M,
rotated 90o.
Therefore DH = DM rotated 90o plus a constant.
To see that the
constant is zero, let A coincide with D.
