Two squares

Consider two arbitrary squares *ABCD* and *BEFG* having the vertex *B* in common, see figure below. Prove that the straight lines *AG* and *CE* are perpendicular for each such two squares. (Source: Maria Alessandra Mariotti: Reasoning, proof and proving in mathematics education. Proceedings of the 10th International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME), 4-11 July, 2004. 2008. Construction by [Roman HaĊĦek](//home.pf.jcu.cz/~hasek/))
// Define the id of your board in BOARDID

    var board = JXG.JSXGraph.initBoard(BOARDID, {
        boundingbox: [-4, 3, 4, -3],
        keepaspectratio: true
    });

    var A = board.create('point', [-3, -1], { color: 'blue' }),
        B = board.create('point', [0, -1], { color: 'blue' }),
        E = board.create('point', [1, -2], { name: 'E', color: 'blue' }),

        square1 = board.create('regularpolygon', [A, B, 4], { name: 'Square 1' }),
        square2 = board.create('regularpolygon', [B, E, 4], { name: 'Square 2' }),

        C = square1.vertices[2],
        H = square2.vertices[3],

        p = board.create('line', [A, H]),
        q = board.create('line', [E, C]);
