Solution
Let be the intersection of and . The quadrilateral has an incircle centered at . So and are angle-bisectors of and , respectively. Further, , these two arguments yielding . Therefore is tangent to the circumcircle of , since . Moreover, implies that
Hence is also tangent to the circumcircle of the triangle . Therefore we would have
so is cyclic. As desired.
