The circles k1k_1, k2k_2, k3k_3 are externally tangent: k1k_1 to k2k_2 at point AA, k2k_2 to k3k_3 at point BB, k3k_3 to k4k_4 at point CC, k4k_4 to k1k_1 at point DD. The lines ABAB and CDCD intersect at the point SS. A line p p is drawn through point S S , tangent to k4 k_4 at point F F . Prove that ∣SE∣=∣SF∣ |SE|=|SF| .
