Problem

Let’s prove that any \(90^{\circ}\) angle is equal to any angle larger than \(90^{\circ}\). On the diagram
image
We have the angle \(\angle ABC = 90^{\circ}\) and angle \(\angle BCD> 90^{\circ}\). We can choose a point \(D\) in such a way that the segments \(AB\) and \(CD\) are equal. Now find middles \(E\) and \(G\) of the segments \(BC\) and \(AD\) respectively and draw lines \(EF\) and \(FG\) perpendicular to \(BC\) and \(AD\).
Since \(EF\) is the middle perpendicular to \(BC\) the triangles \(BEF\) and \(CEF\) are equal which implies the equality of segments \(BF\) and \(CF\) and of angles \(\angle EBF = \angle ECF\), the same about the segments \(AF=FD\). By condition we have \(AB=CD\), thus the triangles \(ABF\) and \(CDF\) are equal, thus \(\angle ABF = \angle DCF\). But then we have \[\angle ABE = \angle ABF + \angle FBE = \angle DCF + \angle FCE = \angle DCE.\]
