Let AA1AA_1, BB1BB_1, CC1CC_1 be the altitudes of an acute angled triangle ABCABC. On the side BCBC point KK is taken such that ∠BB1K=∠A\angle BB_1K=\angle A. On the side ABAB a point MM is taken such that ∠BB1M∠C\angle BB_1M\angle C. Let LL be the intersection of BB1BB_1 and A1C1A_1C_1. Prove that the quadrilateral B1KLMB_1KLM is circumscribed.
