Problem Statement

Given two circles kk and ll which intersect at two points. One of their common tangents touches kk at point KK, while the other common tangent touches ll at L.L. Let AA and BB be the intersections of the line KLKL with the circles kk and ll, respectively. Prove that AK=BL.\overline{AK} = \overline{BL}.
