Brazil L2 Finals (OBM) - geometry, 2000.3

A rectangular piece of paper has top edge $AD$. A line $L$ from $A$ to the bottom edge makes an angle $x$ with the line $AD$. We want to trisect $x$. We take $B$ and $C$ on the vertical ege through $A$ such that $AB = BC$. We then fold the paper so that $C$ goes to a point $C'$ on the line $L$ and $A$ goes to a point $A'$ on the horizontal line through $B$. The fold takes $B$ to $B'$. Show that $AA'$ and $AB'$ are the required trisectors.
