Problem Statement

A piece of paper is the square ABCDABCD. We fold it by placing the vertex DD on the point DD' of the side BCBC. We assume that ADAD moves on the segment ADA' D' and that ADA' D' intersects ABAB at EE. Prove that the perimeter of the triangle EBDEBD' is one half of the perimeter of the square.
