Problem Statement

Given is a circle ω\omega and a line \ell tangent to ω\omega at YY. Point XX lies on \ell to the left of YY. The tangent to ω\omega, perpendicular to \ell meets \ell at AA and touches ω\omega at DD. Let BB a point on \ell, to the right of YY, such that AX=BYAX=BY. The tangent from BB to ω\omega touches the circle at CC. Prove that XDA=YDC\angle XDA= \angle YDC.
