Problem Statement

Given is a convex quadrilateral ABCDABCD with AB=CDAB=CD. Draw the triangles ABEABE and CDFCDF outside ABCDABCD so that ABE=DCF\angle{ABE} = \angle{DCF} and BAE=FDC\angle{BAE}=\angle{FDC}. Prove that the midpoints of AD\overline{AD}, BC\overline{BC} and EF\overline{EF} are collinear.
