Problem Statement

A convex quadrilateral ABCD ABCD with BC\equal{}CD and \angle CBA\plus{}\angle DAB>180^{\circ} is given. Suppose that W W and Q Q are points on the sides BC BC and DC DC respectively (distinct from the vertices) such that AD\equal{}QD and WQAD. WQ \parallel AD. Also suppose that AQ AQ and BD BD intersect at a point M M that is equidistant from the lines AD AD and BC BC. Prove that angle \angle BWD\equal{}\angle ADW.
