Problem Statement

Let ABCD ABCD be an isosceles trapezium with ABCD AB \parallel{} CD and \bar{BC} \equal{} \bar{AD}. The parallel to AD AD through B B meets the perpendicular to AD AD through D D in point X. X. The line through A A drawn which is parallel to BD BD meets the perpendicular to BD BD through D D in point Y. Y. Prove that points C,X,D C,X,D and Y Y lie on a common circle.
