Problem

In the convex quadrilateral $ABCD$, the diagonals $AC$ and $BD$ are perpendicular and the opposite sides $AB$ and $DC$ are not parallel. Suppose that the point $P$, where the perpendicular bisectors of $AB$ and $DC$ meet, is inside $ABCD$. Prove that $ABCD$ is a cyclic quadrilateral if and only if the triangles $ABP$ and $CDP$ have equal areas.
