Two circles ω1 \omega_1 and ω2 \omega_2 tangents internally in point P P. On their common tangent points A A, B B are chosen such that P P lies between A A and B B. Let C C and D D be the intersection points of tangent from A A to ω1 \omega_1, tangent from B B to ω2 \omega_2 and tangent from A A to ω2 \omega_2, tangent from B B to ω1 \omega_1, respectively. Prove that CA \plus{} CB \equal{} DA \plus{} DB.
