The board features a triangle $ABC$, its center of the circle circumscribed is the point $O$, the midpoint of the side $BC$ is the point $F$, and also some point $K$ on side $AC$ (see fig.). Master knowing that $\angle BAC$ of this triangle is equal to the sharp angle $\alpha$ has separately drawn an angle equal to $\alpha$. After this teacher wiped the board, leaving only the points $O, F, K$ and the angle $\alpha$. Is it possible with a compass and a ruler to construct the triangle $ABC$ ? Justify the answer.
