Problem Statement

The inner point X X of a quadrilateral is observable from the side YZ YZ if the perpendicular to the line YZ YZ meet it in the colosed interval [YZ]. [YZ]. The inner point of a quadrilateral is a k\minus{}point if it is observable from the exactly k k sides of the quadrilateral. Prove that if a convex quadrilateral has a 1-point then it has a k\minus{}point for each k\equal{}2,3,4.
