Problem

In the square $ABCD$, let $P$ and $Q$ be points belonging to the sides $BC$ and $CD$ respectively, different from the ends, such that $BP = CQ$. Points $X$ and $Y$ are considered, belonging to the segments $AP$ and $AQ$ respectively. Show that, whatever $X$ and $Y$, there exists a triangle whose sides have the lengths of the segments $BX$, $XY$, and $DY$.
