Problem Statement

Let ABC\triangle{ABC} be an acute-angled triangle and let DD, EE, FF be points on BCBC, CACA, ABAB, respectively, such that \angle{AFE}=\angle{BFD}\mbox{,} \angle{BDF}=\angle{CDE} \mbox{and} \angle{CED}=\angle{AEF}\mbox{.} Prove that DD, EE and FF are the feet of the perpendiculars through AA, BB and CC on BCBC, CACA and ABAB, respectively.
