Problem Statement

Given trapezoid ABCD ABCD with parallel sides AB AB and CD CD, assume that there exist points E E on line BC BC outside segment BC BC, and F F inside segment AD AD such that \angle DAE \equal{} \angle CBF. Denote by I I the point of intersection of CD CD and EF EF, and by J J the point of intersection of AB AB and EF EF. Let K K be the midpoint of segment EF EF, assume it does not lie on line AB AB. Prove that I I belongs to the circumcircle of ABK ABK if and only if K K belongs to the circumcircle of CDJ CDJ. Proposed by Charles Leytem, Luxembourg
