1) a) **Show that $\angle FEM = \angle MAB$.**
1. We are given that $G$ is the symmetric of $E$ with respect to $F$, and $C$ is the symmetric of $A$ with respect to $B$.
2. Since $F$ is the midpoint of segment $EG$, symmetry implies $FE = FG$ and $\angle EFM = \angle GFM$.
3. Similarly, $B$ is the midpoint of segment $AC$, so $AB = BC$ and $\angle MAB = \angle MBC$.
4. Points $F, M, B$ are collinear and points $A, M, E$ are collinear.
5. By symmetry and collinearity, the angle $\angle FEM$ corresponds to $\angle MAB$.
b) **Show that triangles $EFM$ and $AMB$ are congruent and write the homologous elements.**
1. From the symmetry, $FE = AB$ and $FM = MB$ because $F$ and $B$ are midpoints.
2. We have shown $\angle FEM = \angle MAB$.
3. By SAS (Side-Angle-Side) criterion, triangles $EFM$ and $AMB$ are congruent.
4. Homologous elements:
- $E \leftrightarrow A$
- $F \leftrightarrow M$
- $M \leftrightarrow B$
- $EF \leftrightarrow AM$
- $FM \leftrightarrow MB$
- $\angle FEM \leftrightarrow \angle MAB$
**Final answers:**
$$\angle FEM = \angle MAB$$
Triangles $EFM$ and $AMB$ are congruent by SAS.
Homologous vertices: $E \leftrightarrow A$, $F \leftrightarrow M$, $M \leftrightarrow B$.
