Problem Statement

Let ABC ABC be a triangle, and D D be a point where incircle touches side BC BC. M M is midpoint of BC BC, and K K is a point on BC BC such that AKBC AK\perp BC. Let D D' be a point on BC BC such that DMDK=DMDK \frac{D'M}{D'K}=\frac{DM}{DK}. Define ωa \omega_{a} to be circle with diameter DD DD'. We define ωB,ωC \omega_{B},\omega_{C} similarly. Prove that every two of these circles are tangent.
