Problem

In a convex quadrilateral $ABCD$, the diagonal $BD$ bisects neither the angle $ABC$ nor the angle $CDA$. The point $P$ lies inside $ABCD$ and satisfies \[\angle PBC = \angle DBA \text{ and } \angle PDC = \angle BDA.\]

Prove that $ABCD$ is a cyclic quadrilateral if and only if $AP = CP.$

Solution

This problem needs a solution. If you have a solution for it, please help us out by adding it.

Let $K$ be the intersection of $AC$ and $BE$, let $L$ be the intersection of $AC$ and $DF$,

$\angle PBC=\angle DBA$, so $AD=CE$, and $DE//AC$. $\angle PDC=\angle BDA$, so $AB=CF$, and $AC//BF$. 

$\angle PLK=\frac12(\overarc{AD}+\overarc{CF}=\frac12(\overarc{CE}+\overarc{AB}=\angle PKL$, so $\triangle PKL$ is an isosceles triangle.
Since $AC//BF$, so $\triangle PBF$ and $\triangle PDE$ are isosceles triangles. So $P$ is on the angle bisector oof $BF$, since $ABFC$ is 
an isosceles trapezoid, so $P$ is also on the perpendicular bisector of $AC$. So $PA=PC$.
