The isosceles trapezoid ABCDABCD has perpendicular diagonals. The parallel to the bases through the intersection point of the diagonals intersects the non-parallel sides [BC][BC] and [AD][AD] in the points PP, respectively RR. The point QQ is symmetric of the point PP with respect to the midpoint of the segment [BC][BC]. Prove that:
a) QR=ADQR = AD, b) QRADQR \perp AD.

a) Show that if four distinct complex numbers have the same absolute value and their sum vanishes, then they represent a rectangle.
b) Let x,y,z,t x,y,z,t be four real numbers, and k k be an integer. Prove the following implication: j{x,y,z,t}sinj=0=j{x,y,z,t}cosj    j{x,y,z,t}sin(1+2n)j. \sum_{j\in\{ x,y,z,t\}} \sin j = 0 = \sum_{j\in\{ x,y,z,t\}} \cos j\implies \sum_{j\in\{ x,y,z,t\}} \sin (1+2n)j.
