Given the trapezoid $ABCD$ with the $BC\parallel AD$, let $C_1$ and $C_2$ be circles with diameters $AB$ and $CD$ respectively. Let $M$ and $N$ be the intersection points of $C_1$ with $AC$ and $BD$ respectively. Let $K$ and $L$ be the intersection points of $C_2$ with $AC$ and $BD$ respectively. Given $M\ne A$, $N\ne B$, $K\ne C$, $L\ne D$. Prove that $NK \parallel ML$.

Consider two quadrilaterals $ABCD$ and $A'B'C'D'$ in an affine Euclidian plane such that $AB = A'B', BC = B'C', CD = C'D'$, and $DA = D'A'$. Prove that the following two statements are true: [b](a)[/b] If the diagonals $BD$ and $AC$ are mutually perpendicular, then the diagonals $B'D'$ and $A'C'$ are also mutually perpendicular. [b](b)[/b] If the perpendicular bisector of $BD$ intersects $AC$ at $M$, and that of $B'D'$ intersects $A'C'$ at $M'$, then $\frac{\overline{MA}}{\overline{MC}}=\frac{\overline{M'A'}}{\overline{M'C'}}$ (if $MC = 0$ then $M'C' = 0$).
