There is given an acute-angled triangle ABCABC with a point XX marked on its altitude starting from CC. Let DD and EE be the points on the line ABAB that satisfy DCB=ACE=90\sphericalangle DCB=\sphericalangle ACE=90^\circ. Let KK and LL be the points on line segments DXDX and EXEX, respectively, such that BK=BCBK=BC and AL=ACAL=AC. Let the line ALAL meet BKBK and BCBC at QQ and RR, respectively; finally let the line BKBK meet ACAC at PP. Show that the quadrilateral CPQRCPQR has an inscribed circle.
