Let K,L,M, and N be the vertices of the rhombus lying on the sides AE,ED,DB, and BA, respectively. Denote by d(X,YZ) the distance from a point X to a line YZ. Since D and E are the feet of the bisectors, we have d(D,AB)=d(D,AC),d(E,AB)=d(E,BC), and d(D,BC)=d(E,AC)=0, which implies
d(D,AC)+d(D,BC)=d(D,AB) and d(E,AC)+d(E,BC)=d(E,AB).
Since L lies on the segment DE and the relation d(X,AC)+d(X,BC)=d(X,AB) is linear in X inside the triangle, these two relations imply
d(L,AC)+d(L,BC)=d(L,AB)(1)
Denote the angles as in the figure below, and denote a=KL. Then we have d(L,AC)=asinμ and d(L,BC)=asinν. Since KLMN is a parallelogram lying on one side of AB, we get
d(L,AB)=d(L,AB)+d(N,AB)=d(K,AB)+d(M,AB)=a(sinδ+sinε)
Thus the condition (1) reads
sinμ+sinν=sinδ+sinε.(2)

If one of the angles α and β is non-acute, then the desired inequality is trivial. So we assume that α,β<π/2. It suffices to show then that ψ=∠NKL⩽max{α,β}.
Assume, to the contrary, that ψ>max{α,β}. Since μ+ψ=∠CKN=α+δ, by our assumption we obtain μ=(α−ψ)+δ<δ. Similarly, ν<ε. Next, since KN∥ML, we have β=δ+ν, so δ<β<π/2. Similarly, ε<π/2. Finally, by μ<δ<π/2 and ν<ε<π/2, we obtain
sinμ<sinδ and sinν<sinε
This contradicts (2).
