    Let ABCA B C be a triangle with ∠BCA=90∘\angle B C A=90^{\circ}, and let C0C_{0} be the foot of the altitude from CC. Choose a point XX in the interior of the segment CC0C C_{0}, and let K,LK, L be the points on the segments AX,BXA X, B X for which BK=BCB K=B C and AL=ACA L=A C respectively. Denote by MM the intersection of ALA L and BKB K. Show that MK=MLM K=M L.
