Problem Statement

A convex quadrilateral ABCDABCD is given. There rays BABA and CDCD meet in PP, and the rays BCBC and ADAD meet in QQ. Let HH be the projection of DD on PQPQ. Prove that ABCDABCD is cyclic if and only if the angle between the rays beginning at HH and tangent to the incircle of triangle ADPADP is equal to the angle between the rays beginning at HH and tangent to the incircle of triangle CDQCDQ. Also fi nd out whether ABCDABCD is inscribable or circumscribable and justify.
