Sorry, the solution is available only in Hungarian. Google translation
Az ábra jelöléseivel élve OX=OY=OZ=a. Az OXCY négyszögnek három szöge is derékszög, ezért az négyzet, vagyis CX=CY=a. Az egybevágó OXB és OZB derékszögű háromszögekben BZ=BX=a-a. AY=AZ miatt
2AY=AY+AZ=(b+a)+(c+a-a)=a+b+c,
ahonnan 2(b+a)=a+b+c, vagyis b+2a=a+c.
