Angle FAH = angle ECH (corresponding angles are equal)
Also, (angle ECH) + (angle ACE) = 180 degrees (supplementary angles add to 180)
Therefore (angle FAH) + (angle ACE) = 180 degrees (by simple substitution of angle FAH for angle ECH)
(angle ACB) + (angle ABC) + (angle BAC) = 180 degrees (sum of angles of triangle = 180)
But, we have:
(angle BAC) = (1/2)(angle FAH) and
(angle ACB) = (1/2)(angle ACE)
by construction of the respective angle bisectors.

Therefore
[ (1/2)(angle ACE) + (1/2)(angle FAH) ] + (angle ABC) = 180
[ (1/2) ( (angle ACE) + (angle FAH) ) ] + (angle ABC) = 180
[ (1/2)(180) ] + (angle ABC) = 180
(angle ABC) = 90 degrees (DONE)

EDIT 7/15: Corrected contents of [ ] to have (1/2) (angle FAH). Hope the proof makes more sense now.
