Problem Statement

Given an acute-angled triangle ABCABC, in which PP, MM, NN are the midpoints of the sides ABAB, BCBC, ACAC, respectively. A point HH is taken inside the triangle and perpendiculars HKHK, HSHS, HQHQ are lowered from it to the sides ABAB, BCBC, ACAC, respectively (KABK \in AB, SBCS \in BC, QACQ \in AC). It turned out that MK=MQMK = MQ, NS=NKNS = NK, PS=PQPS=PQ. Prove that HH is the point of intersection of the altitudes of triangle ABCABC.
