Problem Statement

Let a1,b1,c1a_1,b_1,c_1 are three lines each two of them are mutually crossed and aren't parallel to some plane. The lines a2,b2,c2a_2,b_2,c_2 intersect the lines a1,b1,c1a_1,b_1,c_1 at the points a2a_2 in AA, C2C_2, B1B_1; b2b_2 in C1C_1, BB, A2A_2; c2c_2 in B2B_2, A1A_1, CC respectively in such a way that AA is the perpendicular bisector of B1C2B_1C_2, BB is the perpendicular bisector of C1A2C_1A_2 and CC is the perpendicular bisector of A1B2A_1B_2. Prove that:
(a) AA is the perpendicular bisector of B2C1B_2C_1, BB is the perpendicular bisector of C2A1C_2A_1 and CC is the perpendicular bisector of A2B1A_2B_1; (b) triangles A1B1C1A_1B_1C_1 and A2B2C2A_2B_2C_2 are the same.
