of the circles 
are isosceles and the angles 
are equal. Since the lines 
are parallel and

are equal and similarly, the angles 
are also equal. Thus the diagonal AB of the quadrilateral AMBE bisects its opposite angles at the vertices A, B, which implies that this quadrilateral is a kite with AE = AM, BE = BM and and its diagonals 
are perpendicular to each other. Consequently, the lines 
are also perpendicular to each other. Since M is the midpoint of the segment PQ, the line EM is the perpendicular bisector of this segment. It follows that the triangle 
is isosceles with EP = EQ.
