how that the CP [edited] segment has the same measurement on the side of the square. M and N are midpoints.
Results already demonstrated: MPB angle is right.

I would like some tip to start the demonstration.
Thankful.

What in the world are you asking? CD is the side of the square.

There are isosceles, right, congruent, and similar triangles in that diagram. I might start by identifying which are which
 
Using classic geometry.

I managed to show two results:
- Triangle MPB is similar to triangle 3-4-5 - using circumferences centered on the vertices of the MPB triangle.
- It is possible to pass a circle through C, M, P and B, in which MB will be a diameter, using the right triangle theorem inscribed on the circle.

But I couldn't see a way to show that CP = CB.

Can you prove that \(\Delta ANB \cong \Delta CMB~?\)
Now you want to prove \(\Delta CPB\) is isosceles with \(\overline {CP} \cong \overline {CB} \)
